De Moivre's Theorem

As presented in Powers and Roots of Complex Numbers#De Moivre's Theorem

Theorem

Binomial Conjugates

Binomial conjugates are 2 binomials which are the same, except with different signs

When proving identities, it's important to spot binomial conjugates, and to leverage them

Example

Prove that .
