Can someone please support me with this question, i just dont understand it i used tan(A+B)

Maybe use sin(3theta)/cos(3theta) ... You can get there with the tan addition formula, but the first way would be worth trying.

yes, one of the right tracks is using tan(A+B). think about how to split 3theta into two parts. then repeat tan(A+B) if one of the parts is not theta.

bit of algebra involved.
