0606/21/O/N/21 — Question 5 · 7 marks

It is given that y=tan23xy = \mathrm{tan}^{2} 3x for 0<x<3600^{\circ} < x < 360^{\circ}.
(a)
Show that dydx=mtan3xsec23x\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = m\,\mathrm{tan}\,3x\,\mathrm{sec}^{2} 3x where mm is an integer to be found.

(b)
Find all values of xx such that dydx=3secxcosecx\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 3\,\mathrm{sec}\,x\,\mathrm{cosec}\,x.
