Show that (1 + cosθ + isinθ)n = 2n.cosnθ.[cos(nθ/2) + isin(nθ/2)] where n is a positive integer.

Jyu's method is correct-so whichever one u feel comfortable with-but what i did was expressed 1+cos@+isin@ in modulus argument for-in which i used the double angle formula for cos and sin.

haque is simply using double angle result to express @ in term of @/2. Then he use Demorive theorem to expand z^n
