Find the indicated roots. Express the results in rectangular form.Show that$1+\cos \theta+i \sin \theta=2 \cos \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\left[\cos \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)+i \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right]$
Step 1
Step 1: We start with the right-hand side of the equation: \[2 \cos \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\left[\cos \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)+i \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right]\] Show more…

Demoivre’s Theorem
Find the indicated roots. Express the results in rectangular form. Show that $\frac{1+\sin \theta+1 \cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta-i \cos \theta}=\sin \theta+i \cos \theta$ Assume that $\theta \neq \frac{3}{2} \pi+2 \pi k,$ where $k$ is an integer. Hint: Work with the left-hand side; first "rationalize" the denominator by multiplying by the quantity $$ \frac{(1+\sin \theta)+i \cos \theta}{(1+\sin \theta)+i \cos \theta} $$
Find the indicated roots. Express the results in rectangular form. In the identity $(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)^{2}=\cos 2 \theta+i \sin 2 \theta,$ carry out the multiplication on the left-hand side of the equation. Then equate the corresponding real parts and imaginary parts from each side of the equation that results. What do you obtain?
