Problem
In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
(a) Use de Moivre’s theorem to show that
sin5θ≡asin5θ+bsin3θ+csinθ
where a, b and c are integers to be determined.
(5)
(b) Hence determine the possible exact values of sin2(5kπ) where k∈Z

用 De Moivre’s theorem 展开 (cosθ+isinθ)5,取虚部得到 sin5θ。然后用 cos2θ=1−sin2θ 把式子全部写成 sinθ 的幂。

By De Moivre’s theorem,
(cosθ+isinθ)5=cos5θ+isin5θ
Taking imaginary parts after expanding,
sin5θ=5cos4θsinθ−10cos2θsin3θ+sin5θ
Use
cos2θ=1−sin2θ
Then
sin5θ====5(1−sin2θ)2sinθ−10(1−sin2θ)sin3θ+sin5θ5(1−2sin2θ+sin4θ)sinθ−10sin3θ+10sin5θ+sin5θ5sinθ−10sin3θ+5sin5θ−10sin3θ+11sin5θ16sin5θ−20sin3θ+5sinθ
Therefore
a=16,b=−20,c=5

思路

令 θ=5kπ,则 5θ=kπ,所以 sin5θ=0。把 (a) 的式子设为 0,提取 sinθ 后,剩下是关于 sin2θ 的二次方程。
答题过程

Let
θ=5kπ
where k∈Z. Then
sin5θ=sin(kπ)=0
Using part (a),
16sin5θ−20sin3θ+5sinθ=sinθ(16sin4θ−20sin2θ+5)=00
One possibility is
sin2θ=0
For the other possibilities, let
u=sin2θ
Then
16u2−20u+5=0
Solve:
u====3220±(−20)2−4(16)(5)3220±803220±4585±5
Therefore the possible exact values are
0,85−5,85+5
