\sinh and \cosh

So I recently found out that

$\sin {(a + bi)} = i\sinh {(b - ai)}$

$\cos {(a + bi)} = \cosh {(b - ai)}$

and that

$\sinh {(x)} = \frac {e^x - e^{-x}}{2}$

$\cosh {(x)} = \frac {e^x + e^{-x}}{2}$

Since

$\frac {a}{b} + \frac {b}{a} = \frac {a^2 + b^2}{ab}$

$\frac {a}{b} - \frac {b}{a} = \frac {a^2 - b^2}{ab}$

and

$(\frac {a}{b})^{-x} = (\frac {b}{a})^x$

Re-arranging the equations for $\sinh{(x)}$ and $\cosh {(x)}$ gives us

$\sinh {(x)} = \frac {e^{2x} - 1}{2e^x}$

$\cosh {(x)} = \frac {e^{2x} + 1}{2e^x}$

Substituting these into $\sin {(a + bi)}$ and $\cos {(a + bi)}$ when $x = b - ai$ gives us

$\sin {(a + bi)} = i\frac {e^{2(b - ai)} - 1}{2e^{b - ai}}$

$\cos {(a + bi)} = \frac {e^{2(b - ai)} + 1}{2e^{b - ai}}$

I'm going to try and expand and substitute by using

$e^{a + bi} = e^a (\cos {(b)} + i\sin {(b)})$

Let $\cos {\theta} + i\sin {\theta} =$ $cis$ $\theta$ . So

$e^{a + bi} = e^a \cdot cis (b)$

Next we substitute this new equation in to get

$\sin {(a + bi)} = i\frac {e^{2b} \cdot cis (-2a) - 1}{2e^{b} \cdot cis (-a)}$

$\cos {(a + bi)} = \frac {e^{2b} \cdot cis (-2a) + 1}{2e^{b} \cdot cis (-a)}$

So what does $cis(a + bi)$ equal

Substituting in the two equations gives us

$cis(a + bi) = \frac {e^{2b} \cdot cis (-2a) + 1}{2e^{b} \cdot cis (-a)} + i(i\frac {e^{2b} \cdot cis (-2a) - 1}{2e^{b} \cdot cis (-a)})$

That looks unfriendly, let's simplify it

$cis(a + bi) = \frac {1}{e^{b} \cdot cis(-a)}$

(Go through the steps, it works)

This can be simplified even further

$cis(a + bi) = \frac {cis(a)}{e^b}$

P.s. $(\cos {\theta} + i\sin {\theta})^n = \cos {\theta n} + i\sin{\theta n}$

Easy Math Editor

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Very nice note. Learned a lot!

$\begin{aligned} \text{cis}(a+bi) &= e^{i(a+bi)}\\ &= e^{ia-b}\\ &= \dfrac{e^{ia}}{e^b}\\ &= \dfrac{\text{cis}(a)}{e^b} \end{aligned}$

I did consider that but I wanted to make it as complex as possible so it would be fun to work out.

Lol..Nice note!!

Although trigonometric functions can operate complex numbers, I think there is no complex angle but only real angles. Just like a doctor who can save lives, not all lives being saved are human being. Do you agree with me?
