Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-EXPONENTIAL-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \(e^{i\pi}\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(-1\)
Explanation
With \(x=0\) and \(y=\pi\): \(e^{i\pi}=\cos\pi+i\sin\pi=-1\).
Review the concept: Complex exponential
The exponential \(e^{z}\) of a complex number \(z=x+iy\) is the complex number with modulus \(e^{x}\) and argument \(y\).
\[e^{z}=e^{x}(\cos y+i\sin y)\]
