If $\theta=\frac{\pi}{6}$, then the 10th term of $$ \begin{aligned} & 1+(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)+(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)^2 \\ & +(\cos \theta+i \sin \theta)^3+\ldots \text { is equal to } \end{aligned} $$
  1. $i$
  2. $-1$
  3. $1$
  4. $-i$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} T_{10}=(\cos \theta+i & \sin \theta)^9 \\ & =e^{i 9 \theta}=e^{i 9 \frac{\pi}{6}}=e^{i 3} \frac{\pi}{2}=-i\end{aligned}$
