TopicComplex numbers 2
TypeExpress roots in trigonometric form
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a structured Further Maths question using de Moivre's theorem with clear signposting through three parts. While it requires multiple techniques (de Moivre's theorem, algebraic manipulation, finding roots from tan 5θ = 0, and using the sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ identity), each step follows logically from the previous with standard methods. The 'hence' structure guides students through the solution path, making it more accessible than it initially appears, though still above average difficulty due to the algebraic complexity and Further Maths content.

10 Using de Moivre's theorem, show that $$\tan 5 \theta = \frac { 5 \tan \theta - 10 \tan ^ { 3 } \theta + \tan ^ { 5 } \theta } { 1 - 10 \tan ^ { 2 } \theta + 5 \tan ^ { 4 } \theta }$$ Hence show that the equation \(x ^ { 2 } - 10 x + 5 = 0\) has roots \(\tan ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { 5 } \pi \right)\) and \(\tan ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 2 } { 5 } \pi \right)\). Deduce a quadratic equation, with integer coefficients, having roots \(\sec ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { 5 } \pi \right)\) and \(\sec ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 2 } { 5 } \pi \right)\).

10 Using de Moivre's theorem, show that

$$\tan 5 \theta = \frac { 5 \tan \theta - 10 \tan ^ { 3 } \theta + \tan ^ { 5 } \theta } { 1 - 10 \tan ^ { 2 } \theta + 5 \tan ^ { 4 } \theta }$$

Hence show that the equation $x ^ { 2 } - 10 x + 5 = 0$ has roots $\tan ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 1 } { 5 } \pi \right)$ and $\tan ^ { 2 } \left( \frac { 2 } { 5 } \pi \right)$.
