Answer

$3x^4-\dfrac{27}{3}x^{12}+\dfrac{243}{5}x^{20}-\dfrac{2187}{7}x^{28}$

Work Step by Step

Consider the Taylor's Series for $ \tan^{-1} x$ as follows: $ \tan^{-1} x=\Sigma_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\dfrac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}=x-\dfrac{x^3}{3}+\dfrac{x^5}{5}-\dfrac{x^7}{7}+...$ Plug $(3x^4)$ instead of $x$ in the above series as follows: Then $ \tan^{-1} (3x^4)=(3x^4)-\dfrac{(3x^4)^3}{3}+\dfrac{(3x^4)^5}{5}-\dfrac{(3x^4)^7}{7}+...$ $ \implies 3x^4-\dfrac{27}{3}x^{12}+\dfrac{243}{5}x^{20}-\dfrac{2187}{7}x^{28}$
