The solution given isn’t complete. We started by asking whether the solution was real, and we’re left with another number raised to an imaginary power so we don’t know. The answer given is actually in Re^i(theta) format, with R = e^(-pi/4) (we don’t need the multiples of 2pi) and theta = ln(2) / 2. To get to the a + bi format, use a calculator to find R cos theta and R sin theta. Then we’re done. (The answer is complex. )

This made me wonder about the general situation of (a + bi)^ci (a, b, c /= 0). Going through the same steps, we get R = e^[-c arctan (b/a)] and theta = c [ln (a^2 + b^2)] / 2. We can see two conditions where the solution will have a real value. First, when a^2 + b^2 = 1, the natural log of their sum = 0 and the solution will be real. A simple approach is to set a = b = SQRT(2) / 2, and c = anything. The other option for a real solution is when c [ln (a^2 + b^2)] / 2 = 2 pi k where k is 1, 2, 3, ... . There appear to be infinite solutions! As a check on the problem in the video, we see that a = b = c = 1, which gives [(ln 2) / 2] /= 2 pi k. That is why the solution to the problem in the video is complex. I enjoyed where this took me. Thanks for posting it.

Since you are so much in to complex numbers I would like to ask a general question. I get the idea of the complex number system initiated as a result of square rooting a negative number and how it helped making the engineering calculations so much easier. However if there are no real solutions to an equation does it imply there are complex solutions? Would it be possible to have no real or complex solutions to some ridiculous equations like 1^x=2 or even Sin x =2? I have seen people solving those but there is no method to check the answer besides reverse calculation which means nothing. I don’t see any such equation being generated by an engineering application.

Convert 1+i to sqrt( 2 )*exp( i•pi/4 ) or even better: exp( ln( sqrt( 2 ) ) ) * exp( i•pi/4 ) and then take power of i and get: exp( -pi/4 ) • exp( i•ln( sqrt( 2 ) ) ). For even more fun, remember that the conversion of 1+i is multi-valued. It makes a factor of exp( 2k•pi ) where k is an integer in the result.

isn't it easier to call our number z, tranform everything ith exponential notation, take the log on both sides (at this point you should have an equation looking like logz=(ipi/4)exp(ipi/2)log(sqrt2)). Converting ipi/4 into its exponential notation you get (pi/4)exp(ipi/2). Combine the exponentials in the equation and ouu get logz=pi/4(exp(ipi))log(sqrt2)=-log(2)pi/8 which implies that z=exp(-log(2)pi/8).

If my maths is correct, it should have infinitely many solutions! These would have the form: (e^(-2*pi*n))(0.4288+i*0.1549). Note that the "n" is just a positive or negative integer (or 0 if you want the principle value!). The negative integers signify a rotation clockwise within the complex plane, and the positive integers signify a positive rotation (with discrete steps of 2pi)! Hope this was helpful!! Edit: This can also take the form (e^(2*pi*n))(0.4288+i*0.1549) in which the 2pi factor has lost the minus sign, this would just mean that the rotations provided by the integer "n" would travel in the opposite direction!

@@MushookieMan Oh! I think I somewhat understand what you mean? Although I'm a little confused? My first step was to convert the inside of (1+i)^i to exponential form re^it (t = theta) where it takes on the value (sqrt(2)^i) * (e^(it+2pi*n))^i (this is where I got the "n" term) this can then simplify to become (sqrt(2)^i) * (e^-t)*(e^-2pi*n) in which case the exponential containing the "n" term becomes real. The rest is just converting the remaining complex numbers to polar form which we already did in the previous comments. I'd appreciate it if you could show me the step I messed up!

Any complex number has an infinite number of _representations_ in polar coordinates, since any number multiplied by 1 retains the same value. Note that 1 = e^2nπi. Let z = r.e^iθ.

I haven't watched the video yet. First, convert the complex number on the base into polar form, where r²=x²+y² and tanθ=y/x. x=1 and y=1, so r²=1²+1²=2 and r=√2. tanθ=y/x=1/1, so θ=π/4+2πn, where n is an arbitrary integer. That means that 1+i=√2·e^{πi/4+2πin}. Raising that to the power of i multiples the exponent by i, giving us √2·e^{-π/4-2πn}. (1+i)^i has infinite real solutions, following a geometric progression. Its principal root is √2·e^{-π/4}.

e^(iθ)=cosθ+i sinθ can be proven from a much simpler claim, that d(e^x)=e^x dx. If d(e^x)=e^x dx, then d[e^(ix)]=e^(ix) i dx. d(cos x + i sin x)=-sin x + i cos x = i² sin x + i cos x = i (cos x + i sin x). As well, e^0=1, and cos 0 + i sin 0 =1. With these two facts established, we now know that e^(ix)=cos x + i sin x. We can also show, starting from d(e^x) = e^x dx, that (e^a)(e^b)=e^(a+b); and from there, it's trivial to show that (e^a)^b=e^(ab). If b=I, then (e^a)^i=e^(ai). Despite i's reputation for being exotic, it's actually a really well-behaved number

But when you say "You are on the right track.", what do you mean ?
Why is x^i this e^ln(x)i, you mean x^i = [e^ln(x)] ^i, but what tells you that [e^ln(x)] ^i is actually, e^(ln(x)i)? Multiplication of powers when you raise a complex to a power is technically only defined for a complex raised to a natural number, or at most a rationnal number, but nothing is defined for a complex to a complex?
