(Q1A)
SOLUTION
Proving that cos 3𝐴 (𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡) = 4𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3𝑐𝑜𝑠𝐴 (𝑖𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡)
Using Demoivre’s theorem
As 𝑛 = 3
𝑧 𝑛 = [𝑟(cos 𝐴 + 𝑖 sin 𝐴)]𝑛
= 𝑟 𝑛 (cos 𝐴 + 𝑖 sin 𝐴)
If 𝑥 = cos 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = isin 𝐴 ……….. (1)
(𝑥 + 𝑦)3 = (𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 + 𝑦)
= (𝑥 + 𝑦)(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑦 + 𝑦 2 )
= 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦 2 + 𝑦𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑦 2 + 𝑦 3
Grouping like terms together
= 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 𝑦 + 3𝑥𝑦 2 + 𝑦 3 ………… (2)
Substituting equation one into equation 2
(cos 𝐴 + isin 𝐴)3 = (cos 𝐴)3 + 3(cos 𝐴)2 (isin 𝐴) + 3(cos 𝐴)(isin 𝐴)2 + (isin 𝐴)3
Where 𝑖 2 = −1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖 3 = −𝑖
= 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 + 𝑖3𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝐴 sin 𝐴 − 3 cos 𝐴 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝐴 − 𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑛3 𝐴
= 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3 cos 𝐴 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝐴 + 𝑖(3𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝐴 sin 𝐴 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛3 𝐴)
Comparing the real part below,
cos 3𝐴 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3 cos 𝐴 𝑠𝑖𝑛 2 𝐴
= 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3 cos 𝐴 (1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝐴)
= 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3 cos 𝐴 + 3𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝐴
cos 3𝐴 = 4𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝐴 − 3𝑐𝑜𝑠𝐴 Proved.

𝑓 111 (𝑥) = 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)(𝑛 − 2)(1 + 𝑥)𝑛−3
𝑓 (𝑟) (𝑥) = 𝑛(𝑛 − 1)(𝑛 − 2) ⋯ (𝑛 − 𝑟 + 1)(1 + 𝑥)𝑛−𝑟
𝑛!
𝑓 (𝑟) (𝑥) = (𝑛−𝑟)! × (1 + 𝑥)𝑛−𝑟
Put 𝑥 = 0
𝑛!
𝑓 (𝑟) (0) = (𝑛−𝑟)! × (1 + 0)𝑛−𝑟
𝑛!
𝑓 (𝑟) (0) = (𝑛−𝑟)! × (1)𝑛−𝑟
∴𝑛=𝑟
Where (1)𝑛−𝑟 = 1
𝑛!
𝑓 (𝑟) (0) = (𝑛−𝑟)!

Hence (1 + 𝑥)𝑛 = 𝑓 (𝑟) (0) = (𝑛−𝑟)! Proved.
