Consider this famous question on real analysis. The function \(f(x)=x\sin(\pi/x)\) for \(x>0\) satisfying Rolle’s theorem for any interval \((1/n,1/(n+1)),n \in \mathbb{N}\). The discussion leads to finding the solutions \(\pm x_1, \pm x_2 , \cdots\) of the equation \(\tan(/pi/x)=\pi/x\) where \(\frac{1}{k+1/2}<x<\frac{1}{k}\) . Show that this equation has no other solution in the complex plane. Hence find the sum of the series \(\sum_{k=1}^\infty z_k^{-2}\) .
