Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-TRIGONOMETRIC-FUNCTIONS-004 · ★☆☆ Basic

Which is a period of \(\sin z\) on \(\mathbb{C}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(2\pi\)

Explanation

Since \(e^{i(z+2\pi)}=e^{iz}\) and \(e^{-i(z+2\pi)}=e^{-iz}\), \(\sin(z+2\pi)=\sin z\). With \(2\pi i\) it does not repeat: \(e^{i(z+2\pi i)}=e^{-2\pi}e^{iz}\).

Review the concept: Complex trigonometric functions

The sine \(\sin z\) and cosine \(\cos z\) of a complex number \(z\) are the functions that extend the real ones through the complex exponential \(e^{iz}\).

\[\sin z=\frac{e^{iz}-e^{-iz}}{2i},\qquad \cos z=\frac{e^{iz}+e^{-iz}}{2}\]
