R = r = 0 ∑ 2 k ( − 1 ) r ( 2 r 4 k ) tan 2 r θ r = 1 ∑ 2 k ( − 1 ) r − 1 ( 2 r − 1 4 k ) tan 2 r − 1 θ
Find the value of R if k = 1 0 0 , θ = 4 8 0 π .

. We're sorry about the hassle.
Í'm shocked that it's a 400 point problem :D
Well, it is just as easy as you would think.
The upper sum can be written as -
ι 1 r = 1 ∑ 2 k ( 2 r − 1 4 k ) ( ι t a n θ ) 2 r − 1
And the lower sum as -
r = 0 ∑ 2 k ( 2 r 4 k ) ( ι t a n θ ) 2 r
Saw something?
They both add to(if we neglect that ι 1 term) - ( 1 + ι t a n θ ) 4 k
So,
R = R e ( ( 1 + ι t a n θ ) 4 k ) ι 1 ι I m ( ( 1 + ι t a n θ ) 4 k )
Using Euler's formula, we get
R ( k , θ ) = t a n ( 4 k θ )
Substituting values we get
R ( 1 0 0 , 4 8 0 π ) = − 3 1
Hey ! @Kartik Sharma , Thanks a lot for posting a solution! I just arrived at this formula by seeking a pattern for smaller values of k and then generalizing it. Since you have given the proof , its very helpful. :)

If you visit the wiki: Expansions of certain Trigonometric Functions , you'll find this and it's proof:
tan ( n θ ) = \substack r = 0 2 r ≤ n ∑ ( − 1 ) r ( 2 r n ) tan 2 r ( θ ) \substack r = 0 2 r + 1 ≤ n ∑ ( − 1 ) r ( 2 r + 1 n ) tan 2 r + 1 ( θ )
Substituting the required values, we can obtain our answer as − 0 . 5 7 7 .
