a.

(i) Find the sum to infinity, S∞S_{\infty}S∞​, of the sequence.

(ii) Hence, or otherwise, evaluate ∑n=1∞(sin⁡60∘)2n\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (\sin 60^{\circ})^{2n}∑n=1∞​(sin60∘)2n

b.

Find the smallest positive exact value of θ\thetaθ, in radians, which satisfies the equation ∑n=0∞(tan⁡θ)n=33−3\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\tan \theta)^n = \frac{3}{3 - \sqrt{3}}∑n=0∞​(tanθ)n=3−3​3​
