Use de Moivre's theorem to prove that
$$\tan 3 \theta = \frac { 3 \tan \theta - \tan ^ { 3 } \theta } { 1 - 3 \tan ^ { 2 } \theta }$$
State the exact values of \(\theta\), between 0 and \(\pi\), that satisfy \(\tan 3 \theta = 1\).
Express each root of the equation \(t ^ { 3 } - 3 t ^ { 2 } - 3 t + 1 = 0\) in the form \(\tan ( k \pi )\), where \(k\) is a positive rational number.
For each of these values of \(k\), find the exact value of \(\tan ( k \pi )\).
