用 de Moivre’s theorem:
(cosθ+isinθ)5=cos5θ+isin5θ.
把左边二项展开后,取虚部。最后把所有 cos2θ 换成 1−sin2θ,就能得到只含 sinθ 的恒等式。

By de Moivre’s theorem,
(cosθ+isinθ)5=cos5θ+isin5θ.
Expanding the left hand side,
(cosθ+isinθ)5=cos5θ+5icos4θsinθ−10cos3θsin2θ−10icos2θsin3θ+5cosθsin4θ+isin5θ.
Taking imaginary parts,
sin5θ=5cos4θsinθ−10cos2θsin3θ+sin5θ.
Now use cos2θ=1−sin2θ:
sin5θ====5(1−sin2θ)2sinθ−10(1−sin2θ)sin3θ+sin5θ5(sinθ−2sin3θ+sin5θ)−10(sin3θ−sin5θ)+sin5θ5sinθ−10sin3θ+5sin5θ−10sin3θ+10sin5θ+sin5θ16sin5θ−20sin3θ+5sinθ.
Therefore
sin5θ≡16sin5θ−20sin3θ+5sinθ.
(b)

思路

由 (a),如果令 x=sinθ,原方程会变成
sin5θ+51=0.
也就是 sin5θ=−51。解出一整轮内的角,再取不同的 sinθ 值即可。因为原方程是五次方程,所以最多有五个实根;找到五个不同的值后就完整了。

Let
x=sinθ.
Using the identity from part (a),
16x5−20x3+5x+51=0
becomes
sin5θ+51=0.
So
sin5θ=−51.
Solving this equation for one complete period of θ gives the following distinct values of x=sinθ:
x=−0.962727…,−0.554737…,−0.040261…,0.619880…,0.937844….
Therefore the five distinct solutions, to 3 decimal places, are
x=−0.963, −0.555, −0.040, 0.620, 0.938.

思路

先把 (a) 的恒等式除以 4:
4sin5θ−5sin3θ=41sin5θ−45sinθ.
这样被积函数就会变成只含 sin5θ 和 sinθ 的式子,积分会很直接。
答题过程
展开
From part (a),
sin5θ=16sin5θ−20sin3θ+5sinθ.
Dividing by 4,
41sin5θ=4sin5θ−5sin3θ+45sinθ.
Therefore
4sin5θ−5sin3θ−6sinθ==41sin5θ−45sinθ−6sinθ41sin5θ−429sinθ.
Hence
∫04π==(4sin5θ−5sin3θ−6sinθ)dθ∫04π(41sin5θ−429sinθ)dθ[−201cos5θ+429cosθ]04π.
At θ=4π,
cos5θ=cos45π=−22,cosθ=22.
Therefore
∫04π==(4sin5θ−5sin3θ−6sinθ)dθ(402+8292)−(−201+429)20732−536.
Thus
a=2073,b=−536.
