How is the proof of de Moivre's formula for positive integers usually established?
AContradiction proof
BMathematical induction
CThe factor theorem
DDescartes' rule of signs
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mathematical induction
Truth for n = 1 and the step from k to k + 1 follow from the angle addition formulas, so induction works.
