The Wronskian & Variation of Parameters · Medium problem

To solve y′′+4y=sec⁡(2t)y''+4y=\sec(2t) by variation of parameters with y1=cos⁡2t, y2=sin⁡2ty_1=\cos2t,\ y_2=\sin2t, the method needs the forcing term sec⁡(2t)\sec(2t) to be defined. Find the smallest positive value of tt at which the method breaks down.
