Solve for x x

e i π + ( log 1 ) 2 = x 0 ! e^{i\pi} + (\log 1)^{2} = x - 0!

-2 -1 0 2 1

e i π + ( log 1 ) 2 = x 0 ! cos π + i sin π + 0 2 = x 1 1 + i ( 0 ) + 0 = x 1 1 = x 1 x = 0 \begin{aligned} e^{i\pi} +(\log 1) ^2 & =x-0!\\ \cos \pi +i\sin \pi +0^2&=x-1 \\ - 1+i(0)+0&=x-1 \\ - 1&=x-1\\ \Rightarrow x&=\boxed{0} \end{aligned}

too fancy sir love it

e^ipi+1=0 famous expression

e i π = C o s π + i S i n π = 1 + i 0 = 1. \large e^{i*\pi}=Cos \pi + iSin \pi=-1+i*0=-1.

Thanks! I knew that was true, but I didn't know why! Still learning!!

This problem requires knowing some facts about the properties of these numbers. For example, 0 ! = 1 0! = 1 , e i π = 1 e^{i\pi} = -1 , and log 1 = 0 \log 1 = 0 . 0 2 = 1 0^{2} = 1 so 1 + 0 + 1 = 0 -1 + 0 + 1 = 0 and x = 0 x = 0 .
