Quick modulus question - complex exponential function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The modulus of the complex exponential function |exp(z^n)| is less than e when |z| < 1. This conclusion is derived from the inequality |exp(z^n)| = exp(Re(z^n)) ≤ exp(|z^n|) = exp(|z|^n), which simplifies to exp(1^n) = e. The discussion highlights the application of the binomial expansion to analyze the behavior of complex numbers in this context.

What is |exp (z^n)| less than if |z| < 1? I'm thinking it's e but I'm having a brain freeze at the moment! Thanks for any help guys.

put z=a+ib then expand $$(a+ib)^n$$ using the binomial expansion ...

Welcome to MHB, buckylomax! :)

That sounds fine to me.

$$|\exp(z^n)| = \exp(\Re(z^n)) \le \exp(|z^n|) = \exp(|z|^n) < \exp(1^n) = e$$

That's what I was thinking but I just couldn't articulate it to the end. I think I broke my brain because I've been studying complex analysis for the past 8 hours (Puke)

Thanks a lot for the help.
