  1. Show that \({\left| {{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}\theta }} \right|=1}\).[1]
  2. Consider the geometric series \({1+\frac{1}{3}{{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}\theta }}+\frac{1}{9}{{\mathrm{e}}^{2\mathrm{i}\theta }}+…}\)
    Write down the common ratio, \({z}\), of the series and show that \({\left| z \right|=\frac{1}{3}}\).[2]
  3. Find an expression for the sum to infinity of this series.[2]
  4. Hence, show that \({\sin \theta +\frac{1}{3}\sin 2\theta +\frac{1}{9}\sin 3\theta +…=\frac{9\sin \theta }{10-6\cos \theta }}\).[8]
