calculus - Find modulus and argument of $omega = {frac {sin (P + Q) + i (1 - cos (P + Q))} {(cos P + cos Q) + i (sin P - sin Q) }} $



A past examination paper had the following question that I found somewhat difficult. I tried having a go at it but haven't come around with any possible double angle identities. How would one go about tackling it?




Given:



$$\omega = {\frac {\sin (P + Q) + i (1 - \cos (P + Q))} {(\cos P + \cos Q) + i (\sin P - \sin Q) }} $$



To prove:




$$|\omega| = \tan \frac {P + Q} {2} \qquad\text{and}\qquad \arg(\omega) = Q $$




A guideline on how/ which identity to use would be greatly appreciated.



To give an idea how one would start it is by;



Proof:




$$|\omega| = {\frac {\sqrt{\sin^2 (P + Q) + (1 - \cos (P + Q))^2}}
{\sqrt{(\cos P + \cos Q)^2 + (\sin P - \sin Q)^2 }}} $$



I'm still unsure about the above or how the square root come about


Answer



We have
\begin{align}
N
& := \sin^2(P+Q) + (1-\cos(P+Q))^2 = \sin^2(P+Q) + \cos^2(P+Q) + 1 - 2\cos(P+Q) \\
& = 2 (1-\cos(P+Q))

= 2\cdot2\sin^2\frac{P+Q}{2}
= 4\sin^2\frac{P+Q}{2}
\end{align}

and
\begin{align}
D
& = \cos^2P +\cos^2Q + \sin^2P + \sin^2Q + 2(\cos P\cos Q - \sin P \sin Q) \\
&= 2 +2(\cos(P+Q))
= 2(1+\cos(P+Q)) = 4\cos^2\frac{P+Q}{2}
\end{align}




Now, $$|\omega| = \sqrt{\frac{N}{D}} = \tan\frac{P+Q}{2}$$
