Well, you should have asked the maximum value of p 2 , as p can also be 3 i , 5 i , 7 i , 9 i , … as − 1 can be written as e 3 i π , e 5 i π …

Thanks for the correction Jatin. Did you mean − 1 can be written as e 2 2 n − 1 i π for n is odd?

Well, − 1 = e i ( 2 n − 1 ) π could have been directly.

@Jatin Yadav – I might be sleepy when I posted this solution and replied your comment. :D
That's how I solved it.
but if p2= x, then can be writtten as -1
nearly same way QED...
i am trying to nderstand
We can solve it in an easier way... Note that taking e^ taking from both sides' we get e^pπ=-1.... Noiw famous Euler's eq, e^ix= coax + isinx,, and comparing, we get p=I= sqrt(-1)....$==> p^2= -1...
Given that ln ( − 1 ) = p π ⇒ e p π = − 1
This implies that p = i ( 2 n + 1 ) , where n = 0 , 1 , 2 , . . . and i = − 1 . This is because e i ( 2 n + 1 ) π = cos ( 2 n + 1 ) π + i sin ( 2 n + 1 ) π = − 1
Since p 2 = i 2 ( 2 n + 1 ) = − ( 2 n + 1 ) , this means that m i n [ p 2 ] = − 1 , when n = 0 .
as ln(-1)= 3.14i so just sustitute this value in the given equation we will get the answer
e ( i × π ) = − 1

Note that: i 2 = − 1 and e 2 2 n − 1 i π = cos ( 2 2 n − 1 i π ) + i sin ( 2 2 n − 1 i π ) = i for n is odd . Therefore ln ( − 1 ) = ln i 2 = ln ( e 2 2 n − 1 i π ) 2 = ln ( e ( 2 n − 1 ) i π ) = ( 2 n − 1 ) i π . Hence, p 2 = ( ( 2 n − 1 ) i ) 2 = − ( 2 n − 1 ) 2 and max [ p 2 ] is obtained when n = 1 . Thus, max [ p 2 ] = − ( 2 ( 1 ) − 1 ) 2 = − 1 .
