Question

If x=n=0(1)ntan2nθx = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^n}{{\tan }^{2n}}\theta } and y=n=0cos2nθy = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\cos }^{2n}}\theta } for 0 < θ\theta < π4{\pi \over 4}, then :

Solution

x=n=0(1)ntan2nθx = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^n}{{\tan }^{2n}}\theta } = 1 – tan 2 θ\theta + tan 2 4θ\theta + ... = 11+tan2θ{1 \over {1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }} = cos 2 θ\theta ....(1) y=n=0cos2nθy = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty {{{\cos }^{2n}}\theta } = 1 + cos 2 θ\theta + cos 4 θ\theta + cos 6 θ\theta + .... = 11cos2θ{1 \over {1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta }} = 1sin2θ{1 \over {{{\sin }^2}\theta }} \Rightarrow sin 2 θ\theta = 1y{1 \over y} ...(2) Adding (1) and (2), we get, x + 1y{1 \over y} = sin 2 θ\theta + cos 2 θ\theta \Rightarrow x + 1y{1 \over y} = 1 \Rightarrow y(1 – x) = 1
