Question 896411: • Let x = r(cos u + i sin u)
• Let y = t(cos v + i sin v)
Prove that xy = rt(cos(u+v) + i sin(u+v)) and prove that
The radius (or modulus) of the product xy is rt
I have to solve and justify the steps. I know that I will plug in the cos u.... and cos v... I have read the chapter and stared at the work for awhile but I am not getting anywhere!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = r(cos u + i sin u)
y = t(cos v + i sin v)



x*y = r(cos u + i sin u)*t(cos v + i sin v)

x*y = r*t(cos u + i sin u)*(cos v + i sin v)

x*y = r*t[ (cos u + i sin u)*(cos v + i sin v) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*(cos(v) + i*sin(v))+i*sin(u)*(cos(v) + i*sin(v)) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*cos(v) + i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v) + i*i*sin(u)*sin(v) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*cos(v) + i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v) + i^2*sin(u)*sin(v) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*cos(v) + i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v) + (-1)*sin(u)*sin(v) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*cos(v) + i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v) - sin(u)*sin(v) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u)*cos(v) - sin(u)*sin(v) + i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v) ]

x*y = r*t[ (cos(u)*cos(v) - sin(u)*sin(v)) + (i*cos(u)*sin(v)+i*sin(u)*cos(v)) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u+v) + i*(cos(u)*sin(v)+sin(u)*cos(v)) ]

x*y = r*t[ cos(u+v) + i*sin(u+v) ]


This number x*y is in the form r(cos(theta) + i*sin(theta)) where the radius is r*t and the angle is u+v

x%22%22=%22%22r%28cos%28u%29+%2B+i%5B%22%22%5D%2Asin%28u%29%29
y%22%22=%22%22t%28cos%28v%29+%2B+i%5B%22%22%5D%2Asin%28v%29%29

Multiply equals by equals:

xy%22%22=%22%22

xy%22%22=%22%22

Use FOIL

xy%22%22=%22%22

since i%5E2=-1

xy%22%22=%22%22

xy%22%22=%22%22

factor i out of the middle two terms

xy%22%22=%22%22

Move the last term next to the first term:

xy%22%22=%22%22

Use double angle formulas cos%28A%2BB%29=cos%28A%29cos%28B%29-sin%28A%29sin%28B%29
and sin%28A%2BB%29=sin%28A%29cos%28B%29%2Bcos%28A%29sin%28B%29

You might swap the terms of the imaginary part:

xy%22%22=%22%22

and you have:

xy%22%22=%22%22rt%28cos%28u%2Bv%29%2Bi%5B%22%22%5Dsin%28u%2Bv%29%29++
