CHAPTER XXIII. EXPANSIONS OF sin n0 AND COS? 0. SERIES FOR sin 0 AND COS 0 IN POWERS OF 0. 274. BY the use of De Moivre's Theorem we can obtain the expansion of cos nO and sin nO in terms of the trigonometrical functions of 0. For we have cos nO + i sin n0 = (cos 0 + i sin O)n. Since n is a positive integer, the Binomial Theorem holds for (cos 0 + i sin 0)n. Hence, by expanding, we have cos nO + i sin nO = cosn 0 + n cos"-l 0. i sin 0 + n(n- COSn-2 0. i2Sin2 0(+ ( 1)(n- os2) -30. sin 0... + 1. 1.2.3 Hence, since i2=-1, i3=-i, i4=1, i5=i,... we have cos nO + i sin nO0 cosn 0 - n COsn-2 0 sin2 0 1.2 (n- 1) (n-2)(n-3) cos4 0 sin4 0 +... 1.2.3.4 + i cosn-1 0 sin0 n (n 1) (- 2)con0 sin3 0 +.. ~ [ s1.2.32 21-2
