    \[{{(sin\theta +cos\theta )}^{4}}\]is equal to:

    A) \[\sin 4\,\theta +i\cos 4\,\theta \]          

    B)  \[\sin 4\,\theta -i\sin 2\theta \]               

    C)  0                            

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{(\sin \theta +i\cos \theta )}^{4}}\] \[={{\left[ \cos \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\theta  \right)+i\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-\theta  \right) \right]}^{4}}\] Using De-Moivre theorem                 \[=\cos (2\pi -4\theta )+i\,\sin (2\pi -4\theta )\] \[=\cos 4\theta -i\sin 4\theta \] Note: The De-moivre theorem is only applicable, when the real part is in cos form and the imaginary part is in sin form.
