| − | '''De Moivre’s Theorem''' is a fundamental statement of [[complex analysis]], where ''i'' represents the square root of (-1):
| |
| | | | |
| − | :<math>\left(\cos x+i\sin x\right)^n=\cos\left(nx\right)+i\sin\left(nx\right)\,</math>

| − | De Moivre's formula is a trivial extension of [[Euler's formula]]:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :<math>e^{ix} = \cos x + i\sin x\,</math>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Because

| − |
| |
| − | :<math>\left( e^{ix} \right)^n = e^{inx} \,</math>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Therefore from [[Euler's formula]]:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :<math>e^{i(nx)} = \cos(nx) + i\sin(nx)\,</math>
