答题过程
(a) Expand the left side:
3\cos\theta(\tan\theta\sin\theta + 3) =&\, 3\cos\theta \cdot \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} \cdot \sin\theta + 9\cos\theta \\[4mm] =&\, 3\sin^2\theta + 9\cos\theta \end{align*}$$ Using $\sin^2\theta = 1 - \cos^2\theta$: $$\begin{align*} 3(1 - \cos^2\theta) + 9\cos\theta =&\, 11 - 5\cos\theta \\[4mm] 3 - 3\cos^2\theta + 9\cos\theta =&\, 11 - 5\cos\theta \\[4mm] -3\cos^2\theta + 14\cos\theta - 8 =&\, 0 \\[4mm] 3\cos^2\theta - 14\cos\theta + 8 =&\, 0 \end{align*}$$ $$\boxed{3\cos^2\theta - 14\cos\theta + 8 = 0}$$ **(b)** Let $\theta = 2x$. From part (a): $$(3\cos\theta - 2)(\cos\theta - 4) = 0$$ Since $|\cos\theta| \leqslant 1$, $\cos\theta = 4$ is impossible. $$\cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}$$ $$\theta = \cos^{-1}\!\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \approx 48.2°$$ For $0° < x < 360°$, we have $0° < 2x < 720°$, so: $$2x = 48.2°, \quad 360° - 48.2° = 311.8°, \quad 360° + 48.2° = 408.2°, \quad 720° - 48.2° = 671.8°$$ $$\boxed{x = 24.1°, \quad 155.9°, \quad 204.1°, \quad 335.9°}$$
