Given z=cosx+isinx, show cosx=1/2(z+1/z)
We first consider 1/z=(cosx+isinx)^(-1). Application of De Moivre's theorem for integer n: (cosx+isinx)^(n)=cosnx+isinnx yields the result 1/z=cosx-isinx. Addition of the two forms z and z^(-1) steers us to the result, albeit with this being double the result.

All answers ▸I do not understand this topic and particularly this example. In the class the result was found out but I still do not get it. How did the teacher came up with this outcome?
Given that y = arcsinh(x), show that y=ln(x+ sqrt(x^2 + 1) )
For f(x) = (3x+4)^(-2), find f'(x) and f''(x) and hence write down the Maclaurin series up to and including the term in x^2.
Solve the inequality x/(x+2) ≤ 4/(x-3) for x ≠ -2 or 3
