Can I have some help with how to do this question, please?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[1-z^{10} = 1 - e^{i10x} = 1 - (\cos 10x +i \sin 10x)\] using De Moivres thm \[= 1 - (\cos 5x +i \sin 5x)^2\] \[= 1-(\cos^2 5x -\sin^2 5x +2i \sin 5x \cos 5x)\] \[=2 \sin^2 5x - 2i \sin 5x \cos 5x\] \[= -2i \sin 5x (i \sin 5x + \cos 5x)\] \[= -2i \sin 5x e^{i5x}\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

For 1-z^2 , you replace the 10 with a 2 \[1-z^2 = -2i \sin x e^{ix}\]
