Answer

Proof

Work Step by Step

We have to prove that :- $\;\sin ^2x+\cos ^2x=1$ According to question we will use the result (1) and (2) \[\cos bx=\frac{1}{2}\left(e^{ibx}+e^{-ibx}\right)\;\;\;...(1)\] \[\sin bx=\frac{1}{2i}\left(e^{ibx}-e^{-ibx}\right)\;\;\;...(2)\] Using (1) and (2) with $b=1$ \[\cos x=\frac{e^{ix}+e^{-ix}}{2}\;\;\;...(3)\] \[\sin x=\frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}\;\;\;\] \[\Rightarrow \sin x=\frac{(e^{-ix}-e^{ix})i}{2}\;\;\;...(4)\] Using (3) \[\cos ^2x=\frac{e^{2ix}+e^{-2ix}+2}{4}\;\;\;...(5)\] Using (4) \[\sin ^2x=\frac{-(e^{-2ix}+e^{2ix}-2)}{4}\;\;\;...(6)\] Adding (5) and (6) \[\cos ^2x+\sin ^2x=\frac{e^{2ix}+e^{-2ix}+2}{4}+ \frac{-(e^{-2ix}+e^{2ix}-2)}{4}\] \[ \cos ^2x+\sin ^2x =\frac{4}{4}=1\] Hence $\;\;\cos ^2x+\sin ^2x=1$.
