By Euler's Formula,
e i θ = cos ( θ ) + i sin ( θ )
⇒ e − i θ = cos ( θ ) − i sin ( θ )
Hence,
e i θ + e − i θ = 2 cos ( θ )
And similarly,
e i θ − e − i θ = 2 i sin ( θ )
Dividing these two equations,
e i θ + e − i θ e i θ − e − i θ = i tan ( θ )
tan ( i ) = i e + e 1 e − e 1 ≈ 0 . 7 6 2 i
On the Argand Plane, this is nothing but ( 0 , 0 . 7 6 2 ) .
Hence the distance is: 0 . 7 6 2 .
