(i) Demonstrate that the equation \(\tan(30^\circ + \theta) = 2 \tan(60^\circ - \theta)\) can be expressed as \(\tan^2 \theta + (6 \sqrt{3}) \tan \theta - 5 = 0\).

(ii) Consequently, or by other means, solve the equation \(\tan(30^\circ + \theta) = 2 \tan(60^\circ - \theta)\) for \(0^\circ \leq \theta \leq 180^\circ\).

(i) Show that the equation \(\tan(45^\circ + x) - \tan x = 2\) can be rewritten as \(\tan^2 x + 2 \tan x - 1 = 0\).

(ii) Solve the equation \(\tan(45^\circ + x) - \tan x = 2\) for all solutions in the interval \(0^\circ \leq x \leq 180^\circ\).

(i) Show that the equation \(\tan(45^\circ + x) = 2 \tan(45^\circ - x)\) can be written in the form \(\tan^2 x - 6 \tan x + 1 = 0\).

(ii) Hence solve the equation \(\tan(45^\circ + x) = 2 \tan(45^\circ - x)\), for \(0^\circ < x < 90^\circ\).

(i) Show that the equation \(\sin(x - 60^\circ) - \cos(30^\circ - x) = 1\) can be written in the form \(\cos x = k\), where \(k\) is a constant.

(ii) Hence solve the equation, for \(0^\circ < x < 180^\circ\).

The angles \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are between \(0^\circ\) and \(180^\circ\) and satisfy the conditions:

\(\tan(\alpha + \beta) = 2\) and \(\tan \alpha = 3 \tan \beta\).

Find the possible values of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\).
