To express f(z) in terms of z using exponentials, the discussion highlights the relationship between complex numbers and their exponential forms. The user is trying to derive x + iy from the equation involving z, where z = x + iy. Key equations are presented, showing that z^2 can be expressed in terms of its real and imaginary parts. The sine function's complex representation is also discussed, leading to the conclusion that f(z) = sin(z^2). The user seeks clarification on how to apply exponentials in this context, indicating a desire for a more efficient method.

Hello! I am stuck at the final step. How do I get x+iy from the equation? Help!

I am so sorry for posting this question in a picture instead of writing it out, because I don't know how to write equations on here.

First, I would note that if $\displaystyle \begin{align*} z = x + \mathrm{i }\,y \end{align*}$ then $\displaystyle \begin{align*} z^2 = x^2 - y^2 + \mathrm{i }\left( 2\,x\,y \right) \end{align*}$, so $\displaystyle \begin{align*} x^2 - y^2 = \mathcal{R} \left( z^2 \right) \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} 2\,x\,y = \mathcal{I}\left( z^2 \right) \end{align*}$.

Next, notice that $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \sin{ \left( X + \mathrm{i}\,Y \right) } = \sin{(X)}\cosh{(Y)} + \mathrm{i}\cos{(X)}\sinh{(Y)} \end{align*}$, so it would suggest that $\displaystyle \begin{align*} X = x^2 - y^2 = \mathcal{R} \left( z^2 \right) \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} Y = 2\,x\,y = \mathcal{I} \left( z^2 \right) \end{align*}$.

Thus, we can conclude that $\displaystyle \begin{align*} f(z) = \sin{ \left( z^2 \right) } \end{align*}$.

Thus, we can conclude that $\displaystyle \begin{align*} f(z) = \sin{ \left( z^2 \right) } \end{align*}$.

Thanks! This is a faster method than using exponentials. But if I were to use exponentials, how do I do it? I got stuck here, look.
