ln ( k ) = exp [ − ln ( 3 ) + i sin − 1 ( 2 5 2 4 ) ]
Suppose we define k such that the equation above is fulfilled, and if the imaginary part of k can be expressed in the form of e B A sin ( D C )
where A , B , C and D are positive integers such that g cd ( A , B ) = g cd ( C , D ) = 1 , find the value of A + B + C + D .
Details and Assumptions
We define exp ( x ) as e x .

Challenge:
Prove that, if e A sin α = e B sin β for A , B , α , β ∈ Q , then A = B and α = β .
oh man i got 181 as i kept 24/75 as it is :(
ln ( k ) = exp [ − ln ( 3 ) + i sin − 1 ( 2 5 2 4 ) ] = 3 exp [ i sin − 1 ( 2 5 2 4 ) ] = 3 2 5 7 + i 2 5 2 4 = 7 5 7 + i 2 5 8
k = exp [ 7 5 7 + i 2 5 8 ] = e 7 5 7 e i 2 5 8 = e 7 5 7 [ cos 2 5 8 + i sin 2 5 8 ]
ℑ ( k ) = e 7 5 7 sin 2 5 8
Please don't write proofs/solutions in equations only!

I believe this solution doesn't require any explanation!

It's still bad proof-writing not to include prose, even it seems like it doesn't need any explanation. It's important to lay our your motivations and steps so that the techniques can be exploited in other analogous problems, especially in more advanced mathematics.

We begin by dealing with the RHS of the equation given, with the aid of Euler's identity e i θ = cos θ + i sin θ .
exp ( − ln 3 + i sin − 1 2 5 2 4 ) = e − ln 3 e i sin − 1 2 5 2 4 = 3 1 ( cos sin − 1 2 5 2 4 + i sin sin − 1 2 5 2 4 )
Now, employing that c o s θ = 1 − sin 2 θ ,
3 1 ( cos sin − 1 2 5 2 4 + i sin sin − 1 2 5 2 4 ) = 3 1 ( 1 − ( 2 5 2 4 ) 2 + i ( 2 5 2 4 ) ) = 7 5 7 + 2 5 8 i
Equating this with the LHS of the equation given, we have ln k = 7 5 7 + 2 5 8 i and so k = exp ( 7 5 7 + 2 5 8 i ) . We then simplify the obtained expression for k , using Euler's identity once more.
exp ( 7 5 7 + 2 5 8 i ) = e 7 / 7 5 ( e 8 i / 2 5 ) = e 7 / 7 5 ( cos 2 5 8 + i sin 2 5 8 )
The imaginary part of k is hence simply
ℑ ( k ) = e 7 / 7 5 sin 2 5 8
so we have A = 7 , B = 7 5 , C = 8 and D = 2 5 , giving A + B + C + D = 1 1 5 .
