$${S}=\frac{−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{4}{i}}{\mathrm{1}+{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}=\left(−\mathrm{1}+{i}\right)\left(\mathrm{1}−{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}.{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{4}}{i}} .{e}^{−\frac{{i}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}} \\ $$$$=−\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}+{i}\left(\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}.{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}{i}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{e}^{{i}\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}} =\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1}}{\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}+\frac{{i}\left(\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)}{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$${cos}\left(\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${sin}\left(\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}+\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
