Weird Summation 2

Geometry Level 5

r = 1 ω ( tan 2 r 1 cos 2 r ) = tan ( p ω ) tan ( q ) \sum_{r=1}^{ω}\left(\frac{\tan2^{r-1}}{\cos2^{r}}\right)=\tan\left(p^{ω}\right)- \tan \left(q \right) Find p + q p+q .


The answer is 3.

@Samarth Agarwal Yeah I know two books which were used by my friend who qualified INMO last year.

Olympiad Mathematics By Asha Rani Singhal (Its a very old book and its difficult too find but it is extremely useful for INMO)

Mathematical Circles (Russian Experience)

Hint:The general term in summation is equivalent to sin(C)/(cosAcosB) which gives hint of expressing Numerator as sin(A-B) & coincidently C=A-B.job done!!
