In response to Steve's request above:

a.) Let 3cosx + sinx = Rcos(x - W) = R[cosxcosW + sinxsinW] = (RcosW)cosx + (RsinW)sinx

:. 3 = RcosW and 1 = RsinW
-> R^2 = 10 -> R = Sqrt(10)
-> W = sin^-1[1/(Sqrt10)] = 18.4 Deg (1 D.P)

:. 3cosx + sinx = Sqrt10.cos(x - 18.4)

6.) 6cos^2x + sin2x = 0
-> 6cos^2x + 2sinxcosx = 0
-> 2cosx(3cosx + sinx) = 0
-> 2cosx = 0, 3cosx + sinx = 0
-> cosx = 0, cos(x - 18.4) = 0

cosx = 0 -> x = 90, 270 Deg
cos(x - 18.4) = 0 -> x - 18.4 = 90, 270 -> x = 108.4, 288.4 Deg (1.D.P)

:. Solutions for 0 < x < 360 Deg:
x = 90, 108.4, 270, 288.4 Deg (1.D.P)
