trigonometry - Computing sumnk=02nchoose2k(1)ksin2kthetacos2n2ktheta using Euler's formula


Compute the following sum by using Euler's formula, eiθ=cosθ+isinθ,
cos^{2n}\theta-{2n\choose 2}cos^{2n-2}\theta\ sin^2\theta\ +...+(-1)^{n-1}{2n\choose 2n-2}cos^2\theta\ sin^{2n-2}\theta\ +(-1)^nsin^{2n}\theta




I have tried to rewrite the expression as:



\sum_{k=0}^n{2n\choose 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!
