psi20 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 How do those work? Like 2 to the 2i power and stuff like that. And why does it work that way?
Crash Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 can you word that alittle better for me, you mean 2^2(sqrt(-1))? how much do you know in complex numbers? do you now "de moivres" theorm? conjugates etc.?
matt grime Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 they are defined as x^y = exp{ylogx} this works for all real positive x, and can be extended with some care to all (non-zero) x.
psi20 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Posted February 9, 2005 Like 2^i , what's that? I know about DeMoivre's Theorem and conjugates. What's the exp in exp{ylogx} mean? What's it do?
Dave Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 exp is the exponential function - (e^log(x)) = x
