Proving a Complex number equality



To Prove: If p=cisθ=cosθ+isinθ and q=cisϕ=cosϕ+isinϕ, then show that




(p+q)(pq1)(pq)(pq+1)=sinθ+sinϕsinθsinϕ



My Attempt: p=eiθ and q=eiϕ



Then we have



(eiθ+eiϕ)(ei(θ+ϕ)ei0)(eiθeiϕ)(ei(θ+ϕ)+ei0)



I think I am going in the wrong direction here. But putting the full cos and sin in the problem will just blow the size of the expression. Any hints ?



Answer



Starting from the expression which you have just derived, we can remain in the complex exponential domain and simplify further in this domain as follows:-
(eiθ+eiϕ)(ei(θ+ϕ)ei0)(eiθeiϕ)(ei(θ+ϕ)+ei0)=ei(2θ+ϕ)eiθ+ei(θ+2ϕ)eiϕei(2θ+ϕ)+eiθei(θ+2ϕ)eiϕ=ei(θ+ϕ)(eiθeiθ+eiϕeiϕ)ei(θ+ϕ)(eiθeiθeiϕ+eiϕ)=(eiθeiθ)+(eiϕeiϕ)(eiθeiθ)(eiϕ+eiϕ)=2isinθ+2isinϕ2isinθ2isinϕ=sinθ+sinϕsinθsinϕ
