Problem 14
14. For 
, let
$\begin{align*}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) $P &= \frac12\cos\theta - \frac14\sin 2\theta - \frac18\cos 3\theta + \frac{1}{16}\sin 4\theta + \frac{1}{32} \cos 5\theta - \frac{1}{64} \sin 6\theta - \frac{1}{128} \cos 7\theta + \cdots$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) $\end{align*}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
and
$\begin{align*}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) $Q &= 1 - \frac12\sin\theta -\frac14\cos 2\theta + \frac18 \sin 3\theta + \frac{1}{16}\cos 4\theta - \frac{1}{32}\sin 5\theta - \frac{1}{64}\cos 6\theta +\frac{1}{128}\sin 7\theta + \cdots$ (Error compiling LaTeX.
