where is the angle nearest to (2r+1) π whose cosine and whose tangent = tan 0.

This result includes those of the preceding two articles.

For, if

рπ = ( − 1), and sin p=0. Hence the series for cos pe/q and sin pe/q reduce

9 2r+1 q

to the forms given in Art. 620.

And, if q is even and 9 odd, we may put 2r+1=1q, so that 2r+1 pr=(-1). Hence the series reduce

Moreover, if 9 and are both even, we cannot make either cos p (2r+1)π/q or sin p (2r+1) π/q vanish, so that cos pe/q and sin pe/q cannot be expressed in a single series.

623. The result of the last article follows immediately from Art. 619.

For, if (2r+ 1) is acute, the multipliers of

cos (2r + 1) рπ/q and sin (2r + 1)рπ/q

in the series of Art. 622 are, by Art. 619, respectively

cos {0-(2r+1) π} p/q and sin {0 – (2r + 1) π} p/q.

Hence the expressions given for cos pe/q and sin p0/q are

625. In the following article, an important application is made of the Binomial Theorem.. The proof given is equivalent to establishing an equation involving the first and second differential coefficients of the function to be expanded.

1+2+giờ + c +...+ c2 +...= {(1 + x) +} ...(I), the first two terms being immediately derivable from the binomial theorem.

Now write x + h for x. The left-hand becomes

1 + n (x + h) + α2 (x + h)2 + ... + ar (x + h)" +...

The right-hand becomes

{(1 + x2 + 2hx + h2)3 +x+h}" = { (1+x2)1 + §. 2hx (1+x2) ̄3+x+h+... }~ ={(1+x2)1+x}"{1+h(1+x2) ̄*+...}"={(1+x2)*+x}"{1+nh(1+x2) ̄* + ...}.

Thus, equating the coefficients of h, after substituting from

(1+x2) + (n+2αx+...+ra, x2-1+...)=n(1+nx+ax2+...+α, x2+...)...(II). Again in (II) write x+h for x. Then

{(1 + x2)1 +hx (1 + x2) ̄* +.....} {n + 2α, (x + h) +...+ra, (x + h)r-1 +... } = n {1 + n (x + h) + a2 (x + h)2 +: (x + h)" +.....}.

Equating the coefficients of h again, we have

+ ar

(1+x2)3 {2a2+...+r(r−1)α, x2-2+...}+x(1+x2) ̄† (n+2a2+...+ra,x2-1+.....) = n (n + 2a,x+. +ra,.x2−1 +.....)

=

= n2 (1 + x2) ̄ * (1 + nx + a2x2 +...+ ax2+.....) by (II).

Multiply by (1+x2). Thus

(1 + x2) {2α +...+r (r− 1) α, x2+...} +x (n + 2α +...+ra,x-1+...) = n2 (1 + nx + α„x2 + •+α„x2+.....)

Hence any power of z may be expressed in ascending powers

It would thus appear that, by expanding the powers of z-z-1 by the binomial theorem, we could expand any power of

630. B. Let x = cot 0; then √(1+x2)+x=cosec✪+cot0=cot10. If then x lies between 1 and +1, we may take 0 between and, so that cot 10 is positive. Thus

To expand cos n✪ and sin n✪ in powers of sin 0, when n real value.

In the formulæ of Art. 626, put x = i sin 0. Then √(1 + x2) + x = cos + i sin 0. Hence the series represent some value of (cos + i sin 0)", i.e. of cos no + i sin no where is some angle whose cosine and sine are equal to those of respectively.

If 0 = 0, x = 0; and the series become

Hence, by the principle of continuity, if 0 is acute,

The first and last of these series terminate only if n is an even integer; the middle two terminate only if n is an odd integer. For these special cases, the above formulæ were proved in Art. 375.
