In mathematics, de
Moivre‘s formula, named
after Abraham de
Moivre.

8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 2


The formula is important
because it connects complex
numbers and trigonometry.
The expression "cos x + i sin x"
is sometimes abbreviated to
"cis x".

8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 3


By expanding the left hand
side and then comparing the
real and imaginary parts
under the assumption that x is
real, it is possible to derive
useful expressions for cos(nx)
and sin(nx) in terms of cos(x)
and sin(x).
8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 4
Furthermore, one can use a
generalization of this
formula to find explicit
expressions for the n-th
roots of unity, that is,
complex numbers z such
that zn = 1.

De Moivre’s theorem
For all values of n, the value, or
one of the values in the case
where n is fractional, of
cos   i sin   n

is
cos n  i sin n

Theorem

Now, let us prove this important
theorem in 3 parts.
1. When n is a positive
integer
2. When n is a negative
integer
3. When n is a fraction

Continuing this process, when n is
a positive integer,

cos  i sin  n
 cos n  i sin n

8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 12


Case 2 : if n is a negative integer
Let n=-m where m is positive integer

Case 3 : if n is a fraction equal

cos  i sin   p p

q  cos   i sin 

8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 15


Raising the RHS to power q we have,
q

 cos   i sin    cos p  i sin p
 q q 

q is an integer 
but,

cos   i sin   p

 p is an integer 
8/25/2019 By Chtan FYHS-Kulai 16

Hence, De Moivre’s Theorem applies when


n is a rational fraction.

Thus 1  S .

2. Assume z  r cos k  i sin k .

Thus k  S  k 1 S.

The hypothesis of Mathematical
