Question for 2.29 MCIII Algebra

Hi, I think I need help with the 2.29 in MC 3 Algebra book. I expanded the equation, combines the terms, and tried to use the root of unity to solve it, however, it's not working. Could you let me know the approach to this question? Thanks!

Actually, I think I got the last question! Instead, I have a question about 2.31, could you give me a hint on how to start this question? Also, I am confused about the approach presented in the video for 2.33, 2.34, and 2.35 B. For 2.35 b, I am confused about how to multiply conjugation and get the most simplified form that is easy for later calculation. For 2.33 and 2.44, I am confused how you can change (1+1)^n, w^2(1+w)^n, and w^4(1+w^2)^n to 2^n+2cos(...)? Thank you!

For 2.33 and 2.34, if you look at how the problem 2.14 is solved, it may help.

I will write something later to explain more about 2.35.
