7.

(a) Find, in the form \(y = \mathrm{f}(x)\), the general solution of the equation \[\cos x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + y\sin x = 2\cos^3 x\sin x + 1, \quad 0 \lt x \lt \frac{\pi}{2}\] (8)

Given that \(y = 5\sqrt{2}\) when \(x = \dfrac{\pi}{4}\)

(b) find the value of \(y\) when \(x = \dfrac{\pi}{6}\), giving your answer in the form \(a + b\sqrt{3}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are rational numbers to be found. (3)
