document.write( "Question 784704: solve the equation for 0◦≤ x ≤ 360◦ 4-sin theta= 4 cos ^2 theta. sorry kind of confused but think it has something to do with sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta=1 and therefore cos^2 theta=1-sin^2 theta. does this mena that 1-sine theta= 4(1-sin^2theta)? thank you :) \n" ); document.write( "
