Homework Statement


Use Euler's formula to write the given expression in the form a + ib:

e^(2-(pi/2)i)


Homework Equations


Euler's formula: e^(it) = cos(t) + i*sin(t)


The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not sure how to get started on this one... am I supposed to get the expression into the e^(it) form somehow first?
