Let's first compute 0 i x = e ln ( x ) x i = e i ln ( x ) We know that e i θ = cos ( θ ) + i sin ( θ ) ⇒ x i = e i ln ( x ) = cos ( ln ( x ) ) + i sin ( ln ( x ) ) In the case x = 0 ⇒ 0 i = cos ( ln ( 0 ) ) + i sin ( ln ( 0 ) ) And as ln ( 0 ) = u n d e f i n e d ⇒ 0 i = u n d e f i n e d
Now let's consider z = a + b i ; b = 0 0 z = 0 a × 0 b i = 0 × ( 0 i ) b = 0 × ( u n d e f i n e d ) b = u n d e f i n e d ⇒ ℑ ( z ) ∈ ( − ∞ , 0 ) ∪ ( 0 , ∞ )
Now let's consider z = a + 0 × i = a ⇒ ℑ ( z ) = 0 , z ∈ R ⇒ 0 z = 0
Therefore, if 0 z is not a undefined value then ℑ ( z ) = 0
