3. The curve \(C\) has equation \(x=8y\tan 2y\)

The point \(P\) has coordinates \(\left(\pi,\dfrac{\pi}{8}\right)\)

(a) Verify that \(P\) lies on \(C\). (1)
(b) Find the equation of the tangent to \(C\) at \(P\) in the form \(ay=x+b\), where the constants \(a\) and \(b\) are to be found in terms of \(\pi\). (7)
