9.

(a) Express \(2\sin\theta-4\cos\theta\) in the form \(R\sin(\theta-\alpha)\), where \(R\) and \(\alpha\) are constants, \(R>0\) and \(0<\alpha<\dfrac{\pi}{2}\)
Give the value of \(\alpha\) to 3 decimal places. (3)

\[\mathrm{H}(\theta)=4+5(2\sin 3\theta-4\cos 3\theta)^2\]

Find

(b)
(i) the maximum value of \(\mathrm{H}(\theta)\),
(ii) the smallest value of \(\theta\), for \(0\leqslant\theta<\pi\), at which this maximum value occurs.
(3)

(c)
