The sequence of values given by the iterative formula \[ x_{n+1}=\frac{2 x_{n}^{6}+12 x_{n}}{3 x_{n}^{5}+8} \] with initial value \( x_{1}=2 \), converges to \( \alpha \). (i) Use the formula to calculate \( \alpha \) correct to 4 decimal places. Give the result of each iteration to 6 decimal places. (ii) State an equation satisfied by \( \alpha \) and hence find the exact value of \( \alpha \).
