20 De Moivre's Theorem Part 1 (Introduction & Visualisation)

4 years ago

Multiplication of two complex numbers in polar form is generalised to n complex numbers. A detailed solution to this example is given:
Use polar forms to evaluate the product of the complex numbers 1+ i, 1- i, 1+√3i and 1-√3i.
The particular case where the n complex numbers are identical is explored
using a GeoGebra animation of the Argand diagram.This lead to a statement of De Moivre's Theorem
