Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I have had several tries so far, but simply do not know what to do. Would somebody be so kind and simplify this expression step by step. I couldn't find any solved problems like this on the internet and am lost!


Thanks!

Use
e-ix=cosx - isinx
to simplify everything into base e, then use laws of exponents, and you should be able to come to an answer.
