Math Problem Statement

(Cos x-i sin x)^10/(cos x+ i sin x)^12

Solution

Let's solve the expression:

(cosxisinx)10(cosx+isinx)12\frac{(\cos x - i \sin x)^{10}}{(\cos x + i \sin x)^{12}}

First, recall the Euler's formula:

cosx+isinx=eixandcosxisinx=eix\cos x + i \sin x = e^{ix} \quad \text{and} \quad \cos x - i \sin x = e^{-ix}

Substituting these into the expression:

(eix)10(eix)12=e10ixe12ix\frac{(e^{-ix})^{10}}{(e^{ix})^{12}} = \frac{e^{-10ix}}{e^{12ix}}

We can simplify this further by combining the exponents:

e10ix12ix=e22ixe^{-10ix - 12ix} = e^{-22ix}

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

e22ixe^{-22ix}

Finally, using Euler's formula in reverse:

e22ix=cos(22x)isin(22x)e^{-22ix} = \cos(22x) - i\sin(22x)

So, the simplified form of the given expression is:

cos(22x)isin(22x)\cos(22x) - i\sin(22x)

  4. What are the properties of complex conjugates and how do they apply here?
  5. How would you evaluate (cosxisinx)5(cosx+isinx)3\frac{(\cos x - i \sin x)^5}{(\cos x + i \sin x)^3}?

Tip: Euler's formula is a powerful tool in complex number analysis, particularly useful for converting between exponential and trigonometric forms.
