Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-EXPONENTIAL-008 · ★★☆ Intermediate

Find all solutions of \(e^{z}=1\) (with \(k\in\mathbb{Z}\)).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(z=2\pi i k\)

Explanation

We need \(e^{x}=1\), so \(x=0\), and \(\cos y=1\), \(\sin y=0\), so \(y=2\pi k\). Keeping only \(z=0\) misses the others.

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 \(y\).

\[e^{z}=e^{x}(\cos y+i\sin y)\]
