IMEXP(z)

Description

This function gives the exponential of a complex number.
In $IMEXP(z)$ , $z$ is the complex number of the form $z=x+iy$ , $x$ & $y$ are real numbers & $i$ is the imaginary unit. $i={\sqrt {-1}}$ .
Euler's formula states that $e^{ix}=cosx+isinx$ , for any real number $x$ and $e$ is the base of the natural logarithm.
The approximate value of the constant e=2.718281828459045 and it is equal to $e^{1}$ . So the exponential of a complex number is : $IMEXP(z)=e^{z}=e^{x+iy}=e^{x}.e^{iy}=e^{x}.(cosy+isiny)=e^{x}.cosy+ie^{x}.siny$ .
When imaginary part is '0', it will give the exponent value of the real number. i.e IMEXP(z) = EXP(z) when imaginary number (iy) is '0'.
We can use COMPLEX function to convert the real and imaginary coefficients to a complex number.
