3.(i)Determine the value of \(k\) such that
$$\arctan \frac { 1 } { 2 } - \arctan \frac { 1 } { 3 } = \arctan k$$
(ii)(a)Prove that
$$\cos 3 A \equiv 4 \cos ^ { 3 } A - 3 \cos A$$
Given that \(a = \cos 20 ^ { \circ }\)
(b)write down,in terms of \(a\) ,an expression for \(\cos 40 ^ { \circ }\)
(c)determine,in terms of \(a\) ,a simplified expression for \(\cos 80 ^ { \circ }\)
(d)Use part(a)to show that
$$4 a ^ { 3 } - 3 a = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$
(e)Hence,or otherwise,show that
$$\cos 20 ^ { \circ } \cos 40 ^ { \circ } \cos 80 ^ { \circ } = \frac { 1 } { 8 }$$
