Hello, everyone.

Can some help me finish this solution? I am stuck. The questions is to find the real part of
i*sin(∏/4 + i).

Use ##e^{i\theta} = \cos \theta + i\sin\theta## and its conjugate with ##\theta = i##.

Which part should I use that? I don't get it.
 
Solve the Euler equations for ##e^{i\theta}## and ##e^{-i\theta}## for the sine and cosine in terms of the exponentials. Surely your book has those formulas.

Does that mean I didn't have to use the trig identity?
 
You just need ##\sin i## and ##\cos i## to finish, don't you? You can get them from the above formulas.

Err...you mean like this? But it gets complicated.

Wait, I think I got it. Hold on, let me try and solve it and I will show it you.

Is this correct?

That looks correct. Notice that you could have substituted the exponentials for ##\sin(\frac \pi 4 + i)## directly, avoiding using the addition formulas.

How to substitute the exponentials for ##\sin(\frac \pi 4 + i)## directly?

##\sin \theta = \frac {e^{i\theta}-e^{-i\theta}}{2i}##, the same formula you used before.

You mean like this? But then how do I finish it? Looks complicated there.

What happened to ##\ i\ ## in the denominator?

Do you know what ##\ e^{i\pi/4}\ ## is ?

I forgot to write the i.
##\ e^{i\pi/4}\ is equals to cos∏/4 + isin∏/4, right? And that makes it equals to 1/√2 + i/√2, right?

Yes, and ##\ e^{-i\pi/4}= \ ? ##
