What is the simplified form of : [(-1+ i*sqrt(3))^3] / 2

We need to find the value of (-1+ i
*sqrt(3))^3 / 2


To solve this we use
(a + b)^3 = a^3 + 3a^b + 3ab^2 + b^3 and the fact that i*2 =
-1.


(-1+ i *sqrt(3))^3 /
2


=> (1/2)[ (-1)^3 + (i*sqrt 3)^3 + 3*(-1)(i*sqrt
3)^2 + 3*(-1)^2 * i*sqrt 3]


=> (1/2)[ -1 - i*3*sqrt
3 + 3*3 + 3*i*sqrt 3]


=>
(1/2)*8


=>
4


The required result is
4

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
