Solve 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) = 1 given -90° < x < 90°. Write 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) in the form Rcos(2x - a), where R and a are constants.

Step 1: Recognise 4cos(2x )+ 2sin(2x) must be put into the form given in the question form i.e. Rcos(2x - a) as it contains only one trigonometric function

Step 2: Calculate values of R and a
