The exponential form of a complex number is in widespread use in engineering and science. Since z = r(cosθ + isinθ) and since eiθ = cosθ + isinθ we therefore obtain another way in which to denote a complex number: z = reiθ, called the exponential form.
How do you find the exponent of a complex number?
If you have a complex number z = r(cos(θ) + i sin(θ)) written in polar form, you can use Euler's formula to write it even more concisely in exponential form: z = re^(iθ).
What is the formula for complex numbers?
The standard form of writing a complex number is z = a + ib. The standard form of the complex number has two parts, the real part, and the imaginary part. In the complex number z = a + ib, a is the real part and ib is the imaginary part.
