Hey guys/ girls and thanks in advance
Okay this may seem like the dumbest question on the planet. But i figure i better ask before i waste the lecture's time of booking a consult.
Whats the derivative of
y(x) = e^{5ix}
where 5i is a complex number
both the partial and standard derivative would be
\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\partial y}{\partial x} = 5i*e^{5ix}
In the notes the 'i' is missed at various stages but he arrives at the correct solution which I've verified with other sources. Just the derivation i question... since it uses
\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\partial y}{\partial x} = 5*e^{5ix}
Any particular reason this could even be true... ? (Im just thinking a big typo but its over many pages so yea...)
Cheers Trent
