Using the expression of $t^{\prime}$ as a function of $t$ and the power series expansion $\tan(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{\alpha_{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!} x^{2n+1}$, deduce $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{\star}, \quad \alpha_{2n+1} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{2n}{2k-1} \alpha_{2k-1} \alpha_{2n-2k+1}.$$
For every natural integer $n$ and every real $x$, set $I_n(x) = \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos(2xt)(\cos t)^n \, \mathrm{d}t$. Show $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{\star}, \forall x \in \mathbb{R}, \quad \sin(\pi x) = \pi x \frac{I_{2n}(x)}{I_{2n}(0)} \prod_{k=1}^{n} \left(1 - \frac{x^2}{k^2}\right)$$
For every natural integer $n$ and every real $x$, set $I_n(x) = \int_0^{\pi/2} \cos(2xt)(\cos t)^n \, \mathrm{d}t$. Using the result of Q20, deduce $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^{\star}, \forall x \in ]0,1[, \quad \cos(\pi x) = \frac{1}{2} \frac{I_{4n}(2x)}{I_{4n}(0)} \frac{I_{2n}(0)}{I_{2n}(x)} \prod_{p=1}^{n} \left(1 - \frac{4x^2}{(2p-1)^2}\right)$$
Using the power series expansion $\tan(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} \frac{\alpha_{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!} x^{2n+1}$ and the formula $\pi \tan(\pi x) = \sum_{p=1}^{+\infty} 2(2^{2p}-1)\zeta(2p) x^{2p-1}$, show $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, \quad \alpha_{2n+1} = \frac{2\left(2^{2n+2} - 1\right)(2n+1)!}{\pi^{2n+2}} \zeta(2n+2).$$
2. a. Show that the radius of convergence of the power series $\sum \frac{E_n}{n!} x^n$ is $\geq 1$. b. For $|x| < 1$, we denote by $f(x)$ the sum of the preceding power series. Prove that $$2f'(x) = f^2(x) + 1, \quad \forall x \in ]-1, 1[$$ c. Deduce that $f(x) = \tan\left(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\cos x} + \tan x, \quad \forall x \in ]-1, 1[$, then that $$\frac{1}{\cos x} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{E_{2n}}{(2n)!} x^{2n}, \quad \tan x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{E_{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!} x^{2n+1}, \quad \forall x \in ]-1, 1[$$
Show that for all $a \in \mathbb{R}$, $$\int_0^a \sin(x^2) \mathrm{d}x = \sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} (-1)^n \frac{a^{4n+3}}{(2n+1)!(4n+3)}$$
Show that the limits $$\lim_{a \rightarrow +\infty} \int_0^a \sin(x^2) \mathrm{d}x \text{ and } \lim_{a \rightarrow +\infty} \int_0^a \cos(x^2) \mathrm{d}x$$ exist and are finite.
We admit the identities: $$\lim_{a \rightarrow +\infty} \int_0^a \sin(x^2) \mathrm{d}x = \lim_{a \rightarrow +\infty} \int_0^a \cos(x^2) \mathrm{d}x = \frac{\sqrt{2\pi}}{4}$$
