Homework Statement
The angles [itex]\theta[/itex] and [itex]\phi[/itex] lie on the interval (-pi/2,pi,2) and
[itex]z=(cos\theta +cos\phi)+i(sin\theta +sin\phi)[/itex]
Show that |z|=2cos([itex]\frac{\theta - \phi}{2}[/itex]) and find arg(z)
Homework Equations
If z=x+iy
[tex]|z|=\sqrt{x^2 +y^2}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]|z|= \sqrt{(cos\theta +cos\phi)^2+(sin\theta +sin\phi)^2}[/tex]
[tex]=2+2cos(\theta - \phi)[/tex]
I don't know how to get rid of the additional two and how to make the angle halved.
