(i) Demonstrate that the equation \(\tan(60^\circ + \theta) + \tan(60^\circ - \theta) = k\) can be expressed in the form \((2\sqrt{3})(1 + \tan^2 \theta) = k(1 - 3\tan^2 \theta)\).

(ii) Solve the equation \(\tan(60^\circ + \theta) + \tan(60^\circ - \theta) = 3\sqrt{3}\), providing all solutions within the interval \(0^\circ \leq \theta \leq 180^\circ\).

Given that \(\cos a = \frac{3}{5}\), where \(0^\circ < a < 90^\circ\), and without using a calculator, find:

  1. The exact value of \(\sin(a - 30^\circ)\).
  2. The exact value of \(\tan 2a\), and hence the exact value of \(\tan 3a\).
