Euclidean division exercise
I faced the following problem in a previous abstract algebra session in my university:
Let $omega$ be a non-zero real number and n be a non-zero natural integer both supposed to be fixed. Calculate the remainder of the Euclidean division of the polynomial $(cos{omega}+Xsin{omega}) ^n$ by $X^2 +1$.
I tried to expand $(cos{omega}+Xsin{omega}) ^n$ but it didn't look helpful for me. Can anyone help?

Write the reminder $aX+b$. You have
$$P(X) = (cos omega + sinomega X)^n =Q(X)(X^2+1) +aX+b.$$
Substitute in this equation $X$ by $i$. You get
$$e^{in omega} = ai+b.$$ Substitute now $X$ by $-i$. You get
$$e^{-in omega} = -ai+b$$
Solving in $a,b$ you finally get $b =cos nomega$ and $a = sin nomega$.

This is essentially the same answer as mathcounterexamples.net's answer, but it's a different explanation, since frankly I don't follow several aspects of mathcounterexamples.net's thought process (though I did upvote it). Hence I'll demonstrate my thought process on seeing this question.
We can calculate the remainder on division by a polynomial $fin k[x]$ by working in the ring $k[x]/(f)$, since the remainder of a polynomial $a$ on division by $f$ is the unique representative of $a$ in $k[x]/(f)$ of degree less than the degree of $f$.
Then recognize that $Bbb{R}[X]/(X^2+1)cong Bbb{C}$ via $Xmapsto i$.
Thus $(cos omega +Xsin omega)^nmapsto (e^{iomega})^n=e^{iomega n} = cos(nomega) + i sin(nomega)$. Thus the remainder on division by $X^2+1$ must be $cos(nomega)+Xsin(nomega)$.

Write the reminder $aX+b$. You have
$$P(X) = (cos omega + sinomega X)^n =Q(X)(X^2+1) +aX+b.$$
Substitute in this equation $X$ by $i$. You get
$$e^{in omega} = ai+b.$$ Substitute now $X$ by $-i$. You get
$$e^{-in omega} = -ai+b$$
Solving in $a,b$ you finally get $b =cos nomega$ and $a = sin nomega$.

This is essentially the same answer as mathcounterexamples.net's answer, but it's a different explanation, since frankly I don't follow several aspects of mathcounterexamples.net's thought process (though I did upvote it). Hence I'll demonstrate my thought process on seeing this question.
We can calculate the remainder on division by a polynomial $fin k[x]$ by working in the ring $k[x]/(f)$, since the remainder of a polynomial $a$ on division by $f$ is the unique representative of $a$ in $k[x]/(f)$ of degree less than the degree of $f$.
Then recognize that $Bbb{R}[X]/(X^2+1)cong Bbb{C}$ via $Xmapsto i$.
Thus $(cos omega +Xsin omega)^nmapsto (e^{iomega})^n=e^{iomega n} = cos(nomega) + i sin(nomega)$. Thus the remainder on division by $X^2+1$ must be $cos(nomega)+Xsin(nomega)$.
