Let

be a complex number such that:

and

.
So:

. Then we have:

and

.
Now, with results above, let's do some algebraic manipulation with the expression inside natural log and use the Euler identity

:

.
Returning to the original expression and applying the last result we get:

.
From trigonometry, we have:

.
Replacing

and

in this last expression:

,
that is the desired result (note that this solution doesn't contains the negative sign ).
