Complex Numbers You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers ? = the first term ? = the common ratio ? = the number of terms Sum to infinity of a geometric series, valid when ? < 1 ??=? 1 ?? ? Sum of a geometric series ? = 1 ? 1 ? For ?,? The alternative form is also ok! ? ?? 1 ? 1 ? = the first term ? = the common ratio ? = the number of terms Sum of a geometric series with complex numbers =? 1 ?? 1 ? Sum to infinity of a geometric series with complex numbers, valid when ? < 1 ? = 1 ? 1E

You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers Use the exponential form, ? = ??? 1 ????+ ??? ?= 2????? Rewrite You will also need a variation on a result from the previous section (you should hopefully have encountered this in exercise 1D!) ????+ ? ???= 2????? Divide by 2 1 2 ????+ ? ???= ????? ??+1 ?? 1 ??= 2????? ??= 2?????? ?? 1 ??= 2?????? Use the exponential form, ? = ??? 1 You will need to learn to spot situations where you can create this pattern in order to use it! ???? ??? ?= 2?????? Rewrite ???? ? ???= 2?????? Divide by 2i 1 2? ???? ? ???= ????? 1E
? 1 ???= ? + ?? + ??2+..+??? 1=? 1 ?? ? ???= ? + ?? + ??2+..= 1 ?, ? < 1 ???= 1 1 ? ?=0 ?=0 1 2 1 2? Complex Numbers ????+ ? ???= ????? ???? ? ???= ????? ? 1 ?? 1 ? You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers ?? ? In this question, ? = 1, ? = ? and ? = ? ? ?? ? =1 ? 1 ? ?? ? ? ?+ ???? ? ?, Given that ? = ??? where ? is a positive integer, show that: We can simplify the numerator =1 ??? 1 ? ?? ? ? 2? 1 + ? + ?2+..+?? 1= 1 + ???? Start with Euler s relation You will need to use the exponential form of ? in order to then use the patterns we just saw ???= ???? + ????? Let ? = ? ???? + ????? = ??? ???= ???? + ????? Calculate terms on RHS ? ? ? ? = ??? ???= 1 + ?(0) ??? + ???? ? Simplify ?? ? ???= 1 = ? Add 1 (don t confuse ?symbols with the letter n !) ???+ 1 = 0 This is known as Euler s identity , and is one of the most famous relationships in all of Maths! 1E

The numerator will therefore be equal to 2 Now we need to manipulate the fraction to create one of the patterns above. The denominator has a subtraction, so we are aiming for that one Multiply all terms by ? 1 + ? + ?2+..+?? 1= 1 + ???? 2 = You will need to use the exponential form of ? in order to then use the patterns we just saw ?? ? 1 ? ?? 2? 2? ?? 2? ? ?? 2? ???? + ????? = ??? = ?? 2? ?

You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers = ? 2? Remember to check what you are aiming for We need to have no e terms, as well as a cot term. So we need to replace e with trigonometry Use Euler s relation with ? = ??? ? 2? + ???? ? ? ??? 2? ? 2? ? ?+ ???? ? ?, = Given that ? = ??? where ? is a positive integer, show that: ? 2? ???

You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers The series: ???+ ?2??+ ?3??+..+???? is geometric with first term ???, common ratio ??? and ? terms. You can also use patterns where you separate the real and imaginary parts of a geometric series ??=? 1 ?? 1 ? Replace ? = ???, ? = ??? and ? = ? ??=???1 ???? 1 ???

Complex Numbers ??=???1 ???? 1 ??? ??=??????? 1 ??? 1 You can use the results for Geometric series with complex numbers So using this formula should lead to fewer steps! The restriction here is because if ? was a multiple of 2?, then the denominator of the result would be 0 ? = ???+ ?2??+ ?3??+..+?8??, for ? 2??, where ? is an integer 9?? 2 ???4? Show that ? =? a) ? 2 ??? The denominator contains sine, which means we are probably going to use the formula to the right to replace it as in the previous example 1 2? ???? ? ???= ????? For this you will need to use one of the formulae for the sum of a complex series shown above Either will work, but to make it easier, consider the denominator The power on the left needs to be higher than the power on the right, if it is written this way 1E
