s e c 2 ( x ) = t a n 2 ( x ) + 1 , s e c ( x ) = t a n 2 ( x ) + 1
Let a = t a n ( x ) , then a r c t a n ( a ) = x , s e c ( x ) = s e c ( a r c t a n ( a ) ) , s e c ( a r c t a n ( a ) ) = f ( a ) = t a n 2 ( x ) + 1 = a 2 + 1
So, f ( a ) = a 2 + 1 , f ( f ( a ) ) = a 2 + 2 . By repeatedly applying this, we get that f ( f ( f ( . . . a ) ) ) = a 2 + n where the function is iterated n times.
So, our answer is 1 + 2 0 1 5 = 2 0 1 6 = 1 2 1 4
So, our answer is 1 2 + 1 4 = 2 6
