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.

How do I differentiate tan(x) ?
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?
