11.

(a) Given that \(z = \cos\theta + \mathrm{i}\sin\theta\), use de Moivre’s theorem to show that \[z^n + \frac{1}{z^n} = 2\cos n\theta.\] (2)
(b) Express \(32\cos^6\theta\) in the form \(p\cos 6\theta + q\cos 4\theta + r\cos 2\theta + s\), where \(p\), \(q\), \(r\) and \(s\) are integers. (5)
(c) Hence find the exact value of \[\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \cos^6\theta\,\mathrm{d}\theta.\] (4)
