Use De-Moivre's theorem to show that

cos(5x) = 16cos^5(x) - 20cos^3(x)+5cos(x)
sin(5x) = 5cos^4(x)sin(x)-10cos^2(x)sin^3(x)+sin^5(x)

given the complex numbers z1 = (3+4i)/(3-4i) and z2=[(1+2i)/(1-3i)]^2 find their
polar form, complex conjugate, moduli, product and quotients.

Prove for any complex numbers:

a. |z1 * z2| = |z1|*|z2|

b. |z1 / z2| = |z1|/|z2|

c. |z1 + z2| <= |z1|+|z2|

d. |z1 - z2| >= ||z1|-|z2||
