21 De Moivre's Theorem Part 2 (proof for all Integers)

3 years ago
5

The proof of De Moivre's Theorem for all Integers (positive, negative and zero) is given. The three steps are: Mathematical Induction for the positive integers, the case n=0 and then the proof for the negative integers which involves the reciprocal.
The analogy of falling dominoes is used to help understand the inductive process.
