Solve the following trigonometric equation for θ\theta in the interval 0≤θ<2π0 \le \theta < 2\pi. a. (i) Show that cos⁡2θ=12\cos 2\theta = \dfrac12 implies 2θ=2nπ±π3,  n∈Z2\theta = 2n\pi \pm \dfrac{\pi}{3},\; n \in \mathbb Z. b. (ii) Hence list all values of θ\theta in the interval 0≤θ<2π0 \le \theta < 2\pi that satisfy the given equation.
