(a) Show that \((2 - \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta})(2 - \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{i}\theta}) = 5 - 4\cos\theta\). [3]

Series \(C\) and \(S\) are defined by

\[\begin{aligned} C &= \frac{1}{2}\cos\theta + \frac{1}{4}\cos 2\theta + \frac{1}{8}\cos 3\theta + \ldots + \frac{1}{2^n}\cos n\theta, \\ S &= \frac{1}{2}\sin\theta + \frac{1}{4}\sin 2\theta + \frac{1}{8}\sin 3\theta + \ldots + \frac{1}{2^n}\sin n\theta. \end{aligned}\]
(b) Show that \(C = \dfrac{2^n(2\cos\theta - 1) - 2\cos(n + 1)\theta + \cos n\theta}{2^n(5 - 4\cos\theta)}\). [9]
