Q02. DeMovire's thoery
Rule 1
(cos(A) + i*sin(A))^n = cos(n*A) + i*sin(n*A)
Rule 2
(cos(A) + i*sin(A))^(1/n) = cos((2*k*pi + A)/n) + i*sin((2*k*pi + A)/n)
Where k = 0, 1, 2, .... (n - 1)

Q03. Solve x^5 + 1 = 0 by DeMovire's theory
Change x^5 = -1 to polar form
x^5 = cos(180) + i*sin(180)
Find x
x = (cos(180) + i*sin(180))^(1/5)
x = cos((2*k*pi + 180)/5) + i*sin((2*k*pi + 180)/5)
k = 0, x0 = cos(036) + i*sin(036)
k = 1, x1 = cos(108) + i*sin(108)
k = 2, x2 = cos(180) + i*sin(180) = -1
k = 3, x3 = cos(252) + i*sin(252)
k = 4, x4 = cos(324) + i*sin(324)
Conjugate solution
x0 and x4 are conjugate
x0 + x4 = cos(36) + i*sin(36) + cos(324) + i*sin(324)
= cos(36) + i*sin(36) + cos(360 - 36) + i*sin(360 - 36)
= cos(36) + i*sin(36) + cos(36) - i*sin(36)
= 2*cos(36)
= Real number
x0*x4 = (cos(36) + i*sin(36))*(cos(324) + i*sin(324))
= (cos(36) + i*sin(36))*(cos(36) - i*sin(36))
= cos(36)^2 - (i^2)*sin(36)^2
= cos(36)^2 + sin(36)^2
= 1
= Real number
x1 and x3 are conjugate
x1 + x3 = cos(108) + i*sin(108) + cos(252) + i*sin(252)
= cos(180 - 72) + i*sin(180 - 72) + cos(180 + 72) + i*sin(180 + 36)
= -cos(72) + i*sin(72) - cos(72) - i*sin(72)
= -2*cos(72)
= Real number
x0*x4 = (cos(108) + i*sin(108))*(cos(252) + i*sin(252))
= (-cos(72) + i*sin(72))*(-cos(72) - i*sin(72))
= cos(72)^2 - (i^2)*sin(72)^2
= cos(72)^2 + sin(72)^2
= 1
= Real number
Formula
sin(180 - A) = +sin(A)
sin(180 + A) = -sin(A)
sin(360 - A) = -sin(A)
cos(180 - A) = -cos(A)
cos(180 + A) = -cos(A)
cos(360 - A) = +cos(A)

Q04. Solve x^5 + 1 = 0 by construction
Construction
Draw a large unit circle (Radius = 1 unit)
Draw five points P, Q, R, S, T on circle
Draw angle A0 = angle POX = 036
Draw angle A1 = angle QOX = 108
Draw angle A2 = angle ROX = 180
Draw angle A3 = angle SOX = 252
Draw angle A4 = angle TOX = 324
Find solution by measurments
Find root r0
Let coordinates P be (x0, y0)
Measure x0 and y0 then r0 = x0 + i*y0
Find root r1
Let coordinates Q be (x1, y1)
Measure x0 and y0 then r1 = x1 + i*y1
r2 = -1
r3 is conjugate of r1
r4 is conjugate of r0

Q05. Solve x^4 - x^3 + x^2 - x + 1 = 0
Use solution of x^5 + 1 = 0
Since x^5 + 1 = (x + 1)*(x^4 - x^3 + x^2 - x + 1)
The roots are r0, r1, r3, r4
r0 = cos(036) + i*sin(036)
r1 = cos(108) + i*sin(108)
r3 = cos(252) + i*sin(252)
r4 = cos(324) + i*sin(324)
