Answer

$cosx=\frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}$ and $sinx=\frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}$

Work Step by Step

Use Euler's formula $e^{iy}=cosy+isiny$ For $cosx$: $cosx=\frac{(cosx+isinx)+(cos(-x)+isin(-x))}{2}$ $cosx=\frac{2cosx}{2}$ $cosx=cosx$ For $sinx$: $sinx=\frac{(cosx+isinx)-(cos(-x)+isin(-x))}{2i}$ $sinx=\frac{2isinx}{2i}$ $sinx=sinx$ Hence, $cosx=\frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}$ and $sinx=\frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}$
