a.

Given that y=tan⁡xy = \tan xy=tanx, use the quotient rule to show that dydx=sec⁡2x\frac{dy}{dx} = \sec^2 xdxdy​=sec2x

[3]
b.

The cross-section of a high-precision optical lens is modeled by the region bounded by the curve y=3tan⁡2x+2y = 3\tan^2 x + 2y=3tan2x+2, the xxx-axis, and the vertical boundaries x=π6x = \frac{\pi}{6}x=6π​ and x=π3x = \frac{\pi}{3}x=3π​.

Show that the area of this cross-section is 33−3−π63\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} - \frac{\pi}{6}33​−3​−6π​

which simplifies to 23−π62\sqrt{3} - \frac{\pi}{6}23​−6π​

Fully justify your answer.
