(i) State de Moivre's theorem. Use it to express cos5θ as a polynomial in cosθ.
(ii) Find the two fixed points of the Möbius transformation
z⟼ω=z+33z+1
that is, find the two values of z for which ω=z.
Given that c=0 and (a−d)2+4bc=0, show that a general Möbius transformation
z⟼ω=cz+daz+b,ad−bc=0,
has two fixed points α,β given by
α=2ca−d+m,β=2ca−d−m
where ±m are the square roots of (a−d)2+4bc.
Show that such a transformation can be expressed in the form
ω−βω−α=kz−βz−α,
where k is a constant that you should determine.
