2021 HCI P1 Q9

Given that $y={{\left( \tan x+\sec x \right)}^{2}}$, show that $\cos x\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=2y$.

[2]

(i)

By repeat differentiation, find the Maclaurin series for y up to and including the term in ${{x}^{3}}$.

[4]

(ii)

Using the result obtained in (i) estimate the value of $\tan 1{}^\circ +\sec 1{}^\circ $ to $4$ decimal places.

[2]

(iii)

By expressing $y$ in terms of sine and cosine, use the standard series in MF26 to find the series expansion for $y$ up to and including the term in ${{x}^{3}}$.

[3]

(iv)

Comment on the results obtained from part (i) and part (iii).
