Consider the function f(x)=tan⁡(5x)f(x)=\tan(5x) defined for all real xx for which the expression is meaningful. a. Calculate the second derivative f′′(x)f''(x) and express your answer in terms of tan⁡(5x)\tan(5x) and sec⁡(5x)\sec(5x) only. b. Evaluate f′′ ⁣(π5)f''\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{5}\right) exactly.
