sequences and series - How to find the sum of a geometric progression involving cos using complex numbers?

Use 2cosnθ=zn+zn to express cosθ+cos3θ+cos5θ+...+cos(2n1)θ as a geometric progression in terms of z. Hence find the sum of this progression in terms of θ. Any tips/help would be appreciated. I have the common ratio as z2 and the first term as z12n, and I can put these into the original formula, but I can't seem to get the answer I'm looking for.



z= cosθ+isinθ where i is the imaginary unit
