De Moivre's Theorem and Coterminal Angles

The video tutorial introduces De Moivre's Theorem, which simplifies raising complex numbers to any power. It explains the theorem's derivation using trigonometric identities and Euler's Theorem. Practical examples demonstrate converting complex numbers between rectangular and trigonometric forms and applying the theorem to compute powers. The video concludes with an advanced example using the unit circle to illustrate the theorem's application.
