Consider (cos q - i sin q)6m

= cos6m q - 6mC1 cos6m-1 q ( isin q) + 6mC2 cos6m-2 q (i2 sin2 q) - 6mC3 cos6m-3 q (i3 sin3 q) + ….
(By DeMovire’s Theorem)
Equating imaginary parts, we get, sin 6mq = 6mC1 cos6m-1 q sin q - 6mC3 cos6m-3 q sin3 q + ……

Put q = \ 6q = 2p or sin 6m q = sin 2mp = 0

Equating the coefficient of yn on both sides

Since ak = 1 for all k ³ n

Þ x (1 - x)n = C0 x - C1x2 + C2x3 - C3x4 + …… + (- 1)n Cnxn+1
Differentiating both the sides with respect to x, we get, 1. (1 - x)n - nx (1 - x)n-1
= C0 - 2C1x + 3C2x2 - 4C3x3 + ……. + (-1)n Cn (n + 1) xn
Multiplying the above by x, we get
x (1 - x)n - nx2 (1 - x)n-1 = xC0 - 2C1x2 + 3C2x3 - 4C3x4 + ….. + (- 1)n Cn (n + 1) xn+1
Differentiating again with respect to x, we get
{1. (1 - x)n + nx (1 - x)n-1 (- 1)} - n {2x (1 - x)n-1 - x2 (n - 1) (1 - x)n-2)}
= C0 - 22 C1x + 32 C2x2 - …. + (- 1)n Cn (n + 1)2 xn.
Putting x = 1 on both sides, we get, 0 = C0 - 22C1 + 32C2 - 42C3 + …. + (- 1)n Cn (n + 1)2.
