Math Problem Statement

Use Euler's formula to write each of the following expressions in the form a + bi. a) exp(2 + 3i), b) e^((3π/2)i), c) 9^(6-5i).

Solution

To solve these problems, we will use Euler's formula, which is given by:

eix=cos(x)+isin(x)e^{ix} = \cos(x) + i \sin(x)

a. exp(2+3i)\exp(2 + 3i)

This expression is equivalent to e2+3ie^{2 + 3i}, and can be separated into two parts:

e2+3i=e2e3ie^{2 + 3i} = e^2 \cdot e^{3i}

Using Euler's formula for e3ie^{3i}:

e3i=cos(3)+isin(3)e^{3i} = \cos(3) + i \sin(3)

Thus, the full expression becomes:

e2+3i=e2(cos(3)+isin(3))e^{2 + 3i} = e^2 \cdot (\cos(3) + i \sin(3))

Now, we calculate the real and imaginary parts:

Real part: e2cos(3)\text{Real part: } e^2 \cos(3) Imaginary part: e2sin(3)\text{Imaginary part: } e^2 \sin(3)

Therefore, exp(2+3i)=e2cos(3)+e2sin(3)i\exp(2 + 3i) = e^2 \cos(3) + e^2 \sin(3) i.


b. e(3π2i)e^{\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}i\right)}

Using Euler's formula directly for eixe^{ix}, we have:

e(3π2i)=cos(3π2)+isin(3π2)e^{\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}i\right)} = \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) + i \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right)

From trigonometric values:

cos(3π2)=0,sin(3π2)=1\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = 0, \quad \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1

Thus:

e(3π2i)=0ie^{\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}i\right)} = 0 - i

So the expression becomes 0i0 - i.


c. 965i9^{6 - 5i}

We can rewrite 965i9^{6 - 5i} as:

965i=(96)95i9^{6 - 5i} = (9^6) \cdot 9^{-5i}

Since 9=eln(9)9 = e^{\ln(9)}, we convert 95i9^{-5i} to an exponential form:

95i=e5iln(9)9^{-5i} = e^{-5i \ln(9)}

Using Euler's formula:

e5iln(9)=cos(5ln(9))+isin(5ln(9))e^{-5i \ln(9)} = \cos(5 \ln(9)) + i \sin(5 \ln(9))

Thus, the full expression becomes:

965i=96(cos(5ln(9))+isin(5ln(9)))9^{6 - 5i} = 9^6 \cdot (\cos(5 \ln(9)) + i \sin(5 \ln(9)))

Finally, the real part is 96cos(5ln(9))9^6 \cos(5 \ln(9)) and the imaginary part is 96sin(5ln(9))i9^6 \sin(5 \ln(9)) i.
