There are a multiple of ways doing it right?

$Yes, we could also say $z_1z_2=0\Rightarrow |z_1z_2|=|0|\Rightarrow |z_1||z_2|=0 \Rightarrow$ at least one of $|z_1|,|z_2|$ must be 0, since two real numbers can only multiply to give 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since the only complex number with modulus 0 is 0 itself, at least one of $z_1,z_2$ must be 0. \blacksquare$

New question !
$$ Given that $ cos(n\theta) =\frac{z^n +\frac{1}{z^n}}{2} $ and $ sin(n\theta) = \frac{z^n -\frac{1}{z^n}}{2i}$

$$ Hence find $ \int_0^{2\pi}{sin(n\theta)sin2\theta}d\theta$

Dunno how to use those complex identities but you could use the expansions:
$cos(a-b) = cosacosb+sinasinb$

$cos(a+b) = cosacosb-sinasinb$

$$ Subtracting,$

$cos(a-b) - cos(a+b) = 2sinasinb$

$\frac{cos(a-b) - cos(a+b)}{2} = sinasinb$

$Let a = n\theta, b = 2\theta$

$\therefore sin(n\theta)sin(2\theta) = \frac{cos(\theta(n-2)) - cos(\theta(n+2))}{2}$

$$ I = $ \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{2\pi} cos(\theta(n-2)) - cos(\theta(n+2)) d\theta$

$= \frac{1}{2} [\frac{sin(\theta(n-2))}{n-2} - \frac{sin(\theta(n+2))}{n+2}]_0^{2\pi}$

$= 0, $ when n is an integer, n \neq \pm 2 $$

$sin(n\theta) \cdoot sin(2\theta)= \frac{z^n -\frac{1}{z^n}}{2i} \cdot \frac{z^2-\frac{1}{z^2}}{2i}$
Expand and simplify to get the expression you got... ceebs doing it im busy atm

wouldn't it be in terms of z? how would you integrate with respect to theta?

its in terms of z but recall : $cos(n\theta)= \frac{z^n+\frac{1}{z^n}}{2}$

$Write the number $N\geq 2$ as a product of its prime factors: $N=\left(p_1\right) ^{n_{p_1}}(p_2) ^{n_{p_2}}...(p_K) ^{n_{p_K}}=\prod _{j=1} ^{K}(p_j) ^{n_{p_j}}$, where $K$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $N$. (By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, all integers $N\geq 2$ can be written in a unique way like this, up to ordering of the primes.) Then the number of positive factors of $N$, $f(N)$, is the number of all possible combinations of powers of its prime factors, since each factor of $N$ is made up from the prime factors of $N$ itself (otherwise there would be factors of $N$ which have prime factors that are not prime factors of $N$, a contradiction, since all the factors of factors of $N$ must be factors of $N$). Since we can choose from $0$ to $n_{p_j}$ of each prime factor $n_{p_j}$ (which is $(n_{p_j} +1)$ choices for each prime factor $p_j$), this makes $f(N)=\prod _{j=1} ^{K}(n_{p_j}+1)$.$

$E.g. to find the number of positive factors of $24$, write $24$ in terms of its prime factors: $24=2^\textbf{3} \times 3^\textbf{1}$. To form positive factors of $24$, we can take either 0,1,2, or 3 `2's, and multiply this with either 0 or 1 `3's, i.e. the factors of 24 are of the form: $2^{\text{0 OR 1 OR 2 OR \textbf{3}}}\times 3^{\text{0 OR \textbf{1}}}$. So there are 4 (=\textbf{3}+1) choices for the 2 and 2 (=\textbf{1}+1) choices for the 3, giving $4\times 2=8$ factors. The case where we take 0 of each prime factor gives the factor 1.$

First of all, $3^{n_1} 5^{m_1} = 3^{n_2} 5^{m_2} \Rightarrow n_1 = n_2 , m_1 = m_2$

Now, if we want to find a number that divides into $3^n5^m$ , we need to be able to construct this number by multiplying 3's and 5's. What I mean is, $\\ $if$ \ k \ $divides$ \ 3^n5^m \ $then$ \ k \ $is of the form$ \ 3^{p}5^q$

So, the problem then, can be translated into:

$\\ $Find the number of ways of picking any number of balls, from a group of$ \ n \ $blue balls and$ \ m \ $red balls$$

(at least for just a visualization). Note that the first line of this post is important because it means that any selection must be unique.

To do this problem now, see that there are (n+1) possible number of ways to pick n blue balls (either pick 0 balls, 1, 2, ..., n) and (m+1) possible number of ways to pick m red balls (0, 1, 2, ... , m). So the number of ways in total is (n+1)(m+1)

-----

Note that the translation into a problem about balls is purely to restate the problem in familiar terms, it is in no way essential to the solution.

$No, it'd be $(n+1)(m+1)-1$, because you'd be getting rid of exactly one factor.$
