thanks but when you have cos(pi/2-nx/2)- isin(pi/2-nx/2)..why can you change it in the next line to cos (nx/2-pi/2) + isin (nx/2-pi/2)
and the next line when you are subracting the denominator is that de moivre's rule .
thanks again for your help
Thank you but what does the asterisk mean in line 3 and I don't understand line 3 where you have introduced the p what does the sin(pi/2-nx/2)-isin(pi/2-nx/2) come from...and then in the line that follows cos(nx/2-pi/2)+isin(nx/2-pi/2) come from\
THanks sorrry to be dumb
C = 1 + cos x + cos 2x +..... + cos (n-1)x
S= sinx+sin2x+sin3x....+sin(n-1)x.
i) Multiply series S by i ...... did this Ok
ii) Write down C+iS ...did this Ok
iii) If z=cosx+isinx, use de moivres to express c+is as a series in terms of z. .....did this Ok
iv) Hence show that C + iS = (1-z^n)/...
