====Extensions of the Exponential Function====
+
+
Consider the exponential of [[imaginary number]] <math>yi</math>,
+
+
<math>e^{yi}=1+yi+\frac{(yi)^2}{2!}+\frac{(yi)^3}{3!}+\frac{(yi)^4}{4!}+\frac{(yi)^5}{5!}+\ldots</math>,
+
+
:as <math>i^{2}=-1</math>
+
+
<math>e^{yi}=1+yi-\frac{y^2}{2!}-i\frac{y^{3}}{3!}+\frac{y^4}{4!}+i\frac{y^5}{5!}-\ldots</math>
+
:<math>=(1-\frac{y^2}{2!}+\frac{y^4}{4!}-\ldots)+i(y-\frac{y^{3}}{3!}+\frac{y^5}{5!}-\ldots)</math>
+
:<math>=\cos y+i\sin y</math>
+
+
By the power laws then,
+
+
<math>e^{x+yi}=e^{x}(\cos y+i\sin y)</math>.
