Using de Moivre's theorem, show that
\(\tan 5 \theta=\frac{5 \tan \theta-10 \tan ^{3} \theta+\tan ^{5} \theta}{1-10 \tan ^{2} \theta+5 \tan ^{4} \theta} .\)
Hence show that the equation \(x^{2}-10 x+5=0\) has roots \(\tan ^{2}\left(\frac{1}{5} \pi\right)\) and \(\tan ^{2}\left(\frac{2}{5} \pi\right)\).
Deduce a quadratic equation, with integer coefficients, having roots \(\sec ^{2}\left(\frac{1}{5} \pi\right)\) and \(\sec ^{2}\left(\frac{2}{5} \pi\right)\).
