Question 7
6 marks(a) Show that the equation \(6\sin^2\theta + \cos\theta - 5 = 0\) can be written as \(6\cos^2\theta - \cos\theta - 1 = 0\).
(b) Hence, solve the equation \(6\sin^2\theta + \cos\theta - 5 = 0\) for \(0^\circ \le \theta < 360^\circ\). Give your answers to one decimal place where appropriate.
