IAL 2021 Oct Paper · Question 5

Given that y=tan2xy = \tan^2 x

(a) show that

d3ydx3=8tanxsec2x(psec2x+q)\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}^3y}{\mathrm{d}x^3} =\,& 8\tan x \sec^2 x (p \sec^2 x + q)\\[2mm] \end{align*}

where pp and qq are integers to be determined.

(5)

(b) Hence determine the Taylor series expansion about π3\frac{\pi}{3} of tan2x\tan^2 x in ascending powers of (xπ3)\left( x - \frac{\pi}{3} \right) up to and including the term in (xπ3)3\left( x - \frac{\pi}{3} \right)^3 , giving each coefficient in simplest form.

(3)
