The variables x and t are related by the differential equation
\(e^{2t} \frac{dx}{dt} = \cos^2 x\),
where \(t \geq 0\). When \(t = 0\), \(x = 0\).
(i) Solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for \(x\) in terms of \(t\). [6]
(ii) State what happens to the value of \(x\) when \(t\) becomes very large. [1]
(iii) Explain why \(x\) increases as \(t\) increases. [1]
