Let y = cos + i sin.

(a)

Show that

dy
= iy.
d

[You may assume that for the purposes of differentiation and integration, i may be treated
in the same way as a real constant.]
(3)

(b)

Hence show, using integration, that y = e .

(5)

(c)

Use this result to deduce de Moivres theorem.

(d)

(i)

Given that

sin 6
