Analysis of $e^{ix}$ by Maclaurin Formula

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the analysis of the complex exponential function $e^{ix}$ using the Maclaurin series. Participants confirm that substituting $ix$ into the Maclaurin formula for $e^x$ yields the result $cos(x) + i sin(x)$. Additionally, an alternative method involves utilizing the power series expansions for cosine and sine, where the sine series is multiplied by 'i' and then combined with the cosine series. Both methods provide the same outcome efficiently.

Analyze by Maclaurin formula:
$e^{ix}$

Do you know the 'formula' for ex? If so, try substituting ix for x.
 
You could also do it by looking at the power series of cosx and sinx, and then multiply the sine power series by i and then add the power series of cos on to it, so you get [itex]cosx + isinx[/itex]. Either way will get you the same answer, and the first method would probably be a little quicker.
