Euler's Formula: the Complex Exponential on the Imaginary Axis, Its Modulus and Its Conjugate

Euler's formula exp(it) = cos t + i sin t, with the unit modulus of exp(it), the formula exp(x+iy) = exp(x)(cos y + i sin y), and the conjugate of exp(it).

Statement

In the setting of Complex Analysis: Standing Notation, let exp⁡:C→C\exp:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C} be the complex exponential function, let cos⁡,sin⁡:R→R\cos,\sin:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be the cosine and sine functions, and let t,x,y∈Rt,x,y\in\mathbb{R}.

Euler's formula.

exp⁡(it)=cos⁡t+isin⁡t.\exp(it)=\cos t+i\sin t .

Unit modulus. ∣exp⁡(it)∣=1|\exp(it)|=1.

The exponential in real coordinates.

exp⁡(x+iy)=exp⁡R(x) (cos⁡y+isin⁡y).\exp(x+iy)=\exp_{\mathbb{R}}(x)\,(\cos y+i\sin y).

Conjugates.

exp⁡(it)‾=exp⁡(−it).\overline{\exp(it)}=\exp(-it).
