Q.Prove by method of induction, for all n∈Nn \in N: (cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)n=cos⁡(nθ)+isin⁡(nθ)(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta)^n = \cos(n\theta) + i\sin(n\theta).

Let P(n):(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)n=cos⁡nθ+isin⁡nθP(n):(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)^n=\cos n\theta+i\sin n\theta. Base: n=1n=1 is trivially true. Hypothesis: assume (cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)k=cos⁡kθ+isin⁡kθ(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)^k=\cos k\theta+i\sin k\theta. Step: (cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)k+1=(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)k(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)=(cos⁡kθ+isin⁡kθ)(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)^{k+1}=(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)^k(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)=(\cos k\theta+i\sin k\theta)(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta) (by the hypothesis) =(cos⁡kθcos⁡θ−sin⁡kθsin⁡θ)+i(sin⁡kθcos⁡θ+cos⁡kθsin⁡θ)=cos⁡(k+1)θ+isin⁡(k+1)θ=(\cos k\theta\cos\theta-\sin k\theta\sin\theta)+i(\sin k\theta\cos\theta+\cos k\theta\sin\theta)=\cos(k+1)\theta+i\sin(k+1)\theta, using the st …
