  1. By first writing \(\tan 3 \theta\) as \(\tan ( 2 \theta + \theta )\), show that \(\tan 3 \theta = \frac { 3 \tan \theta - \tan ^ { 3 } \theta } { 1 - 3 \tan ^ { 2 } \theta }\).
  2. Hence show that there are always exactly two different values of \(\theta\) between \(0 ^ { \circ }\) and \(180 ^ { \circ }\) which satisfy the equation
    \(3 \tan 3 \theta = \tan \theta + k\),
    where \(k\) is a non-zero constant. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER} \section*{OCR
