Well, π is never equal to 7 2 2 . To prove this statement, You can try to solve this integral ∫ 0 1 1 + x 2 x 4 ( 1 − x ) 4 d x The result would be 7 2 2 − π and since area cannot be negetive, that means 7 2 2 must be greater than π .
Below is the graph of the function
e i ⋅ n will not give you an algebraic number unless n is transcendental. 7 2 2 isn't trancendental, so it cannot give -1 as the answer.
Zero is not transcendental, though

You're right. I remember being told the thing about e raised to trancendental numbers, though. So is 0 the one special case, or is this idea totally incorrect? Thanks.

I think zero is only one special case of e i x = c o s ( x ) + i s i n ( x ) , as it is only algebraic number which gives 1 as algebraic number (not transcendental). This can be seen clearly when expanding it e i x into Taylor Series.

@Kay Xspre – Okay. That makes more sense. Thanks for the help.

One may want to assume that 7 2 2 = π , but 22/7 is only an approximation, as 7 2 2 > π As of note, c o s ( 7 2 2 ) + i s i n ( 7 2 2 ) ≈ − 0 . 9 9 9 9 9 9 2 + 0 . 0 0 1 2 6 4 4 i
