p(x)=\arctan(2x)

, which is commonly used in signal processing. The Maclaurin series for

p

contains only odd powers of

x

. (a) Determine the value of

p^{(5)}(0)

. (b) Using your result from part (a), find the exact coefficient of the

x^{5}

term in the Maclaurin series of

p

. (c) Explain why no even-degree terms appear in the Maclaurin series of

p
