Computing $sum_{k=0}^n{2nchoose 2k}(-1)^ksin^{2k}theta cos^{2n-2k}theta$ using Euler's formula












0












$begingroup$



Compute the following sum by using Euler's formula, $
e^{i theta} = cos theta + i sin theta$
,
$$cos^{2n}theta-{2nchoose 2}cos^{2n-2}theta sin^2theta +...+(-1)^{n-1}{2nchoose 2n-2}cos^2theta sin^{2n-2}theta +(-1)^nsin^{2n}theta$$




I have tried to rewrite the expression as:



$$sum_{k=0}^n{2nchoose 2k}(-1)^ksin^{2k}theta cos^{2n-2k}theta$$



But I have no certain idea about how to continue. Could you give me some hints? Thanks!
