The infinite series C and S are defined C = a*cos(x) + a^2*cos(2x) + a^3*cos(3x) + ..., and S = a*sin(x) + a^2*sin(2x) + a^3*sin(3x) + ... where a is a real number and |a| < 1. By considering C+iS, show that S = a*sin(x)/(1 - 2a*cos(x) + a^2), and find C.

C + iS = (a cos(x) + a^2 cos(2x) + a^3 cos(3x) + ...) + i( a sin(x) + a^2 sin(2x) + a^3 sin(3x) + ...) = a(cos(x) + i sin(x)) + a^2(cos(2x) + i sin(2x)) + a^3(cos(3x) + i*sin(3x)) + ... = a e^ix + a^2 e^i2x ...
