Plane trigonometry, by S.L. Loney.

324 TRIGONOMETRY. By equating real and imaginary parts, we have n?

'1.. 3.4. 5 The terms in each of these series are alternately positive and negative. Also each series continues till one of the factors in the numerator is zero and then ceases. 275. From equations (1) and (2) of the last article we have, by division, sin nO tan n =cos Bn cos-l 0 sin 0 - (n ( 1) (n 2) os 0 sin3 0 +...... 1.2.3 cos,0 n(n-l) (n.2)(n-1 ) (no-2)(nn-3) COn - s-2 sin n ) (n 2) (n 3) osn-4 sin...... 1.2 1.2.3.4 Divide the numerator and denominator of the righthand member of this equation by cosn 0, and we have tan nO = n tO t - ( n1 ) t n -1)( -2)(n-3) (-4)tan5 1.2.3 a 1. 2.

For assume (1) and (2) to be true for any value of n. Then, since cos (n + 1) 0 = cos n0 cos 0 - sin nO sin 0,
