Advanced Complex Numbers & Induction

1. Use mathematical induction to prove De Moivre's theorem that (cosθ + i sinθ)n = cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ) for n ∈ N. 2. Consider the equation z4 – 32 = 0. Find the complex roots z1, z12, z1i, z1-1, z1√2 in modulus-argument form and plot them in the complex plane. Describe the geometric transformations that map z1n to z1n+1. 3. Prove by mathematical induction that x(d/dx)(xn) = nxn-1 for all positive integer values of n.
