hello everyone in this video we’re going
0:02
to be evaluating a very interesting very
0:04
complex expression we have I to the
0:07
power I and I is defined as the number
0:09
whose square equals negative one so I is
0:13
the imaginary unit we’re going to talk
0:15
about some interesting formulas uh the
0:18
polar form of a complex number Euler’s
0:20
formula and then I’m also going to be
0:23
showing you a graph all right let’s get
0:26
started so first of all we can use I to
0:31
write complex numbers so X Plus y i If X
0:34
and Y are real numbers Z equals X Plus y
0:37
i is defined as a complex number
0:39
obviously real numbers are also complex
0:41
because if Y is equal to 0 you get X
0:43
which is real so they’re kind of subset
0:46
of complex numbers anyways so the the
0:50
one of the biggest questions that is
0:51
this going to be a complex number as
0:53
well because I is complex a complex
0:56
number to the power complex number is
0:58
that going to be complex or real
1:00
all right let’s go ahead and find out
1:02
first of all let’s talk about Euler’s
1:05
formula so Euler obviously when you look
1:07
up Euler’s formula a couple different
1:08
things are going to come up but one of
1:10
which is very important
1:12
e to the power IX equals cosine X plus I
1:17
times sine X
1:19
now X is measured in radians that
1:21
basically describes the angle from the
1:26
the positive angle you know we’re going
1:28
to talk about it on the unit circle or
1:30
in the coordinate system
1:33
so e to the power IX is an exponential
1:36
but I is imaginary X is real it’s an
1:40
angle measured in radians so on and so
1:42
forth so this allows us to write a
1:44
complex number that’s written in polar
1:45
form
1:46
we can turn it into an exponential form
1:48
and where does this come from obviously
1:51
maybe I shouldn’t use X Plus y i because
1:53
that’s kind of misleading how about we
1:55
use a plus bi so here you can kind of
1:59
see the association between these two
2:00
things one of the things that we’re
2:02
going to Define is going to be the how
2:06
to express a complex number in polar
2:09
form so here’s what we do we’re going to
2:11
define the Theta as the angle measured
2:14
in radians is a positive angle
2:17
it’s counterclockwise and a and b are
2:19
the coordinates so basically a complex
2:22
number can be expressed as a point on
2:24
the coordinate plane or a vector but how
2:28
do you turn this into a polar form you
2:31
can do that by using the following fact
2:33
r as defined as the modulus which is the
2:36
square root of a squared plus b squared
2:39
so if you take out a r then you get a
2:42
over R plus b over r i a over R becomes
2:46
the cosine of an angle and this becomes
2:49
the sign of an angle so on and so forth
2:51
and you can Define the tangent as well
2:53
but let’s go ahead and do this for I now
2:56
I is kind of easy because we can write
2:57
it as 0 plus 1 times I and its modulus
3:02
is 1 because 0 comma one the length is
3:05
going to be one right so here’s how we
3:07
express it here on the coordinate system
3:09
and from here you can actually easily
3:11
find the argument or the angle measured
3:14
in radians in this case it is going to
3:16
be pi over 2. so this is our imaginary
3:19
number this is the imaginary axis this
3:22
is the real axis so if you have any
3:24
complex number whose imaginary part is 0
3:27
then it’s going to be on the real number
3:30
line okay so this is I expressed in
3:34
polar form how do we raise it to the
3:36
power I but we have to turn it into an
3:38
exponential form so let’s go ahead and
3:40
do that so I can be written as since the
3:44
angle is pi over 2 we can write it as
3:46
cosine of pi over 2 plus I times sine pi
3:52
over 2. now in this case I kind of
3:54
ignored the r because R is 1 so we don’t
3:57
have to worry about it so we’re good now
4:00
we’re going to raise this to the power I
4:02
but using Euler’s formula we can write
4:05
this as e to the power I times pi over
4:08

that’s beautiful now we’re going to
4:11
go ahead and raise I to the power I
4:14
which means e to the power I pi over 2
4:18
to the power I
4:21
now
4:22
the exponentiation rules or exponents
4:25
whatever tells us that we’re supposed to
4:27
multiply these two things so it’s going
4:28
to become e to the power I squared pi
4:32
over 2 but we know by definition that I
4:35
squared is equal to negative one so this
4:37
is going to be e to the power negative
4:40
pi over 2. great so that’s the answer
4:44
and as you know this is a real real
4:47
number and you’re like are you for reals
4:50
yes this is a real number interesting
4:53
right and we’re going to look at the
4:55
value of this when I show you the graph
4:57
because we we’re going to talk about
5:00
some solutions right so real and complex
5:03
Solutions but we could also do the
5:05
following I cannot be written in a
5:07
single way you could also write since pi
5:10
over 2 can also be expressed as pi over
5:13
2 plus
5:15
at even multiple of Pi which is
5:19
um or integer multiple of 2 pi so we can
5:22
also write I this way
5:24
if you think about it we can basically
5:27
add multiples of 2 pi to it because it’s
5:29
not going to matter it’s just going to
5:30
give us four more rotations and this can
5:34
be written as e to the power I times pi
5:36
over 2 plus 2 pi n and then when you
5:40
raise this is I by the way when you
5:43
raise it to the power I it’s just going
5:45
to become e to the power I squared times
5:47
this and then you’re just going to place
5:50
I squared with negative 1 and this is
5:53
going to give you e to the power
5:54
negative pi over 2 minus 2 pi n but
5:58
negative n is just another integer so we
6:00
can call that K and this can be written
6:02
as e to the power negative pi over 2
6:04
plus 2 pi K so this is just another way
6:08
to write it in more general form I to
6:10
the power I and if you replace K with 0
6:12
you get the first solution if you
6:14
replace K with one so on and so forth
6:16
obviously there are infinitely many
6:18
solutions as long as K is an integer
6:21
okay great now here’s one thing that I
6:23
want to talk about but first I want to
6:26
give you a little bit of something so
6:27
we’re basically looking at the following
6:30
right we have y equals x to the power x
6:32
and we found that I to the power I is
6:35
equal to e to the power negative pi over
6:37

so let’s just go ahead and stick with
6:39
this one for now okay so this indicates
6:43
that hey if this is equal to e to the
6:45
power negative pi over 2 we’re supposed
6:47
to get x equals I from here right
6:49
because I satisfied this equation at
6:51
least that’s one of the solutions so I
6:53
to the power I is equal to this number
6:55
right here and that’s a real number but
6:58
I is not a real number so what is the
7:01
issue here the issue is the derivative
7:04
the maxima and minimum and so on and so
7:07
forth so let’s go ahead and align both
7:08
sides of this function this becomes Ln x
7:11
to the X and then Ln y becomes X Ln X
7:14
and I’m going to go ahead and
7:15
differentiate by using chain rule y
7:17
Prime over Y is derivative of x times Ln
7:20
X plus the derivative of Ln x times x
7:22
this becomes 1 and y Prime becomes y
7:25
times this which is X to the x times Ln
7:28
X plus 1. when you set it equal to zero
7:31
you get Ln x equals negative 1 which
7:34
means x equals one over e and then if
7:37
you plug in 1 over e you get 1 over e
7:39
comma 1 over e to the power one over e
7:42
which is e to the power negative one
7:43
over e so that point is actually a
7:46
minimum point on the graph because if
7:49
you remember the graph of y equals x to
7:51
the power x it kind of looks like this
7:53
and it makes a minimum at this point but
7:55
what happens when you have a horizontal
7:58
line that’s what we’re going to look at
7:59
right now let’s go ahead and take a look
8:00
and here’s our graph of y equals x to
8:04
the power x and the solution
8:07
for I to the power I so this is equal to
8:09
I to the I so we’re expecting to get an
8:12
x equals I here but there is no
8:13
intersection point because I is not a
8:16
real number and obviously this value
8:18
here is less than the minimum y value
8:22
that you see here and this brings us to
8:25
