  1. Show that $$\tan ( r + 1 ) - \tan r = \frac { \sin 1 } { \cos ( r + 1 ) \cos r }$$ Let \(\mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { r } } = \frac { 1 } { \cos ( \mathrm { r } + 1 ) \cos \mathrm { r } }\).
  2. Use the method of differences to find \(\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { n } u _ { r }\).
  3. Explain why the infinite series \(u _ { 1 } + u _ { 2 } + u _ { 3 } + \ldots\) does not converge.
