Given that (n-1)Sigma(K=0) cos(K.theta) + i(n-1)Sigma(k=0) sin(K.theta) = (1-z^n)/(1-z).
1) Prove that:
(n-1)sigma(k=0) cos(K.theta) = (sin((n.theta)/2)cos(((n-1)theta)/s)) / (sin(theta/2)
and (n-1)sigma(k=0) sin(K.theta) = (sin((n.theta)/2)sin(((n-1)theta)/s)) / (sin(theta/2)

2)hence deduce that:
(n/2)sigma(k=1) sin (2Ktheta) + 2 (2n-1)sigma(j=3) sin (j.theta)
= (sin^2((n.theta)/2))sin[(n-1)theta])/(sin^2(theta/2))

sorry if its hard to read (i dont know how to make it look like math format)
note: the brackets before "sigma" is above it while the brackets after it is below the sigma sign.

Should be right now. I'll have a crack at it if no one else has in a little bit.

Equate real and imaginary parts and you get your answer for q1 :) [first time using LaTex btw XD]

what kind of magic sorcery are you using in step 3 of you're line pokka, looks like a sexy sollution (Y)


That one? They multiplied the top and bottom by which when you expand the bottom becomes just 1 in the brackets and hence just .

EDIT: Oh I think I see. In the third line they use and .

the second part looks devlish and scary, really wanna see how that's done haha
I had a go at it a couple of days ago but couldn't get it. I remember doing a question or two like this when I was studying but haven't really touched 4U stuff since the HSC so a little rusty... Might have another go tonight.
