SIN IN ASCENDING POWERS OF COS 0. 351 SIN 0 Picking out the required coefficients, we have sinn0 _s n +si (- 1 ) 2 *. 2- cos )) __(_ (2 I +)(2 (2 )(-2 )3 +. + ( 2 )2(2. - )2 (-2cos)5 1.2.3..s +........... + (2 cos s)n-l. Hence, finally, when n-is even, we have ( 2+11Sil 2co ~2 sin 0 (- (o2fie 22) of (n2c22) (1 '_ 2in =n cos 0- (- 2 cos 0 + n (-.2) ( — cos5 -......+ (- 1)2 +1 (2 cos 0)n-1....... (3). N.B. It will be noted that equations (2) and (3) of this article are simply the series of Art. 293 written backwards. This is;clear from the method of proof, or the statement could be easily verified independently. ~296. To expand cos nO in a series of ascending powers of cos 0. As in Art. 294, we have 2 cos nO = coefficient of xn - coefficient of xn-2 in (1 - 2x cos 0 + x2)-1 = coefficient of x'" - coefficient of X"-2 in 1 - (- 2 cos ) + X (X - 2 cos 0)2 -...... +- (- 1) x (x - 2 cos )r+......
