There is a unique sequence of integers a 1 , a 2 , ⋯ a 2023 a_1, a_2, \cdots a_{2023} a 1 , a 2 , ⋯ a 2023 such that
tan 2023 x = a 1 tan x + a 3 tan 3 x + a 5 tan 5 x + ⋯ + a 2023 tan 2023 x 1 + a 2 tan 2 x + a 4 tan 4 x ⋯ + a 2022 tan 2022 x \tan2023x = \frac{a_1 \tan x + a_3 \tan^3 x + a_5 \tan^5 x + \cdots + a_{2023} \tan^{2023} x}{1 + a_2 \tan^2 x + a_4 \tan^4 x \cdots + a_{2022} \tan^{2022} x} tan 2023 x = 1 + a 2 tan 2 x + a 4 tan 4 x ⋯ + a 2022 tan 2022 x a 1 tan x + a 3 tan 3 x + a 5 tan 5 x + ⋯ + a 2023 tan 2023 x whenever tan 2023 x \tan 2023x tan 2023 x is defined. What is a 2023 ? a_{2023}? a 2023 ?
