I can't solve this problem. I got confuse by the question. HELP ME?

Given that #y = tan^2 2x#, express #dy/dx# in terms of #tan 2x#. Hence, show that ;

#d^2/dx^2 - 24y^2-32y - 8 = 0#

Kindly go through the Explanation.

Explanation:

#y=tan^2 2x=(tan2x)^2#.

#:. dy/dx=(2tan2x)d/dx(tan 2x)............"[Chain Rule]"#,

#=(2tan2x)(sec^2 2x)d/dx(2x)#,

#=(2tan2x)(sec^2 2x)(2)#,

# rArr dy/dx=4(1+tan^2 2x)tan2x#.

Let us note that,

#dy/dx=4(1+y)y^(1/2)=4(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))............(square)#.

#:. (d^2y)/dx^2=d/dx{dy/dx}=d/dx{4(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))}#,

#=4d/dx(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))#,

#=4d/dy(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))*dy/dx........."[The Chain Rule]"#,

#=4(1/2y^(-1/2)+3/2y^(1/2))dy/dx#,

#=4*1/2y^(-1/2)(1+3y)dy/dx#,

#=2y^(-1/2)(1+3y){4(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))}......[because, (square)]#.

#=8(1+3y){y^(-1/2)(y^(1/2)+y^(3/2))}#,

#=8(1+3y){1+y}#,

#:. (d^2y)/dx^2=8(1+4y+3y^2)," or what is the same as to say, "#

# (d^2y)/dx^2-24y^2-32y-8=0#.
