    Not really a help post, but I found a couple of interesting trig questions if any of you prelim people wanna try it out $\noindent$ 1)$ $ $solve $ 5\sin ^{2}x-2\sin 2x +3\cos^{2}x=2 $ for $ 0\leq x\leq 360^{\circ}\\ \\ 2) $ show that $ \frac{1+\sin 2x}{1+\cos 2x}\equiv \frac{1}{2}(1+\tan x)^{2}

    1/sinθ = -2 -2sinθ = 1 sinθ = -1/2 acute angle is 30 so θ = (180+30), (360-30) θ = 210, 330

    cos(θ+10) = -1/2 [10<=θ+10<=370] acute angle is 60, therefore θ+ 10 = (180-60), (180+60) [All Stations To Central] θ + 10 = 120, 240 θ = 110, 230
