[tex]\(\text{(a)} \sin^2 \theta = \frac{1}{4}\)[/tex]
For [tex]\(\sin \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(\sin \theta = \pm \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex].
Hence, [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] can be [tex]\(30^\circ, 150^\circ, 210^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(330^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(b)} \tan^2 \theta = \frac{1}{3}\)[/tex]
For [tex]\(\tan \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(\tan \theta = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(c)} \sin 2 \theta = \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] can be [tex]\(15^\circ, 75^\circ, 195^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(255^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(d)} \tan 2 \theta = -1\)[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\(\theta\)[/tex] can be [tex]\(135^\circ\)[/tex] and [tex]\(225^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(e)} \cos 3 \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)[/tex]
For [tex]\(\cos 3 \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(3 \theta = 30^\circ, 330^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(690^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(f)} \sin 3 \theta = -1\)[/tex]
For [tex]\(\sin 3 \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(3 \theta = 270^\circ, 630^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(990^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(g)} \sin^2 2 \theta = 1\)[/tex]
For [tex]\(\sin 2 \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(\sin 2 \theta = \pm 1\)[/tex].
Hence, [tex]\(2 \theta = 90^\circ, 270^\circ, 450^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(630^\circ\)[/tex], meaning, [tex]\(\theta = 0^\circ, 90^\circ, 180^\circ, 270^\circ,\)[/tex] [tex]\(45^\circ, 135^\circ, 225^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(315^\circ\)[/tex].

For [tex]\(\sec 2 \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(\cos 2 \theta = \frac{1}{3}\)[/tex].

For [tex]\(\cos 2 \theta\)[/tex] to satisfy this equation, [tex]\(\cos 2 \theta = \frac{1}{4}\)[/tex].
Hence, [tex]\(2 \theta = 60^\circ, 300^\circ,\)[/tex] [tex]\(420^\circ,\)[/tex] meaning, [tex]\(\theta = 30^\circ, 150^\circ, 210^\circ,\)[/tex] and [tex]\(330^\circ\)[/tex].

[tex]\(\text{(k)} \sin \left(2 \theta + 30^\circ \right) = 0.8\)[/tex]
