The series for the complex sine and cosine agree with the real sine and
cosine when z is real, so the remaining complex trigonometric functions likewise
agree with their real counterparts. What additional properties are common? For
starters, we have
We now list several additional properties, providing proofs for some and
leaving others as exercises.
- For all complex numbers z ,
sin(-z) = -sinz,
cos(-z) = cosz, and
sin^2 z + cos^2 z = 1.
The verification that sin ( -z) = - sin z and cos ( -z) = cos z comes from
substituting - z for z in Definition 5.4. We leave verification of the identity
sin^2 z + cos^2 z = 1 as an exercise (with hints).
