Consider the differential equation dydx=sec⁡2x−2x\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\sec^{2}x-2x with the condition that the solution passes through the point (π4,3)\bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{4},3\bigr). Answer all parts, showing each step of your reasoning. (a) Determine the general solution y=F(x)y=F(x) of the differential equation. (b) Use the given point to find the particular solution that satisfies the condition. (c) State the largest open interval containing x=π4x=\tfrac{\pi}{4} on which your particular solution is valid, and justify your choice based on the behavior of the integrand in part (a).
