You must have seen the famous equation e i π + 1 = 0 \large e^{i\pi}+1=0 , then what is the value of

e π i + 1 ? \large e^{ \frac {-\pi}{i}}+1 ?


Clarification: i = 1 i=\sqrt{-1} .


The answer is 0.

-1/I = -I/(I^2) = -I/-1 = +I, so e^(-pi/I) + 1 = e^(pi*I) + 1 = 0 Ed Gray

e^iπ+1=0 ,

e^iπ×i÷i + 1=0 ,

e^-π÷1 + 1=0

The Euler's formula says that e i θ = cos θ + i sin θ e^{i \theta}=\cos\theta + i \sin \theta which means that in The Euler's formula says that in e π i e^{\frac{-\pi}{i}} we have an angle θ \theta to find. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator of the fraction in the exponent by i i we get e i π i 2 = e i π i 2 = e π 1 = e i π e^{\frac{- i \pi}{i^2}}=e^{i\frac{-\pi}{i^2}}=e^{\frac{-\pi}{-1}}=e^{i \pi } . Then, e π i + 1 = 0 e^{\frac{-\pi}{i}}+1=0
