IMPOWER(z,n)


  • is the complex number is of the form
  • is the power value.

Description

  • This function gives the value of powers of complex number.
  • DeMoivre's Theorem is a generalized formula to compute powers of a complex number in it's polar form.
  • i'is the imaginary unit, i=sqrt(-1).
  • Then the power of a complex number is defined by (z)^n=(x+iy)^n=r^n*e^inθ=r^n(cosnθ+isinnθ) where r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) and θ=tan^-1(y/x), θ∈(is belongs to) (-Pi(),Pi()].
  • This formula is called DeMoivre's theorem of complex numbers.
  • We can use COMPLEX function to convert real and imaginary number in to a complex number.
  • In IMPOWER(z,n), n can be integer, fractional or negative.
  • suppose n is nonnumeric , this function will returns the error value.

Examples

  1. IMPOWER("4+5i",3)=-235.99999+115i
  2. IMPOWER("9-7i",4)=-14852-8063.999999i
  3. IMPOWER("6",9)=10077696(EXCEL)=10077696-8i(CALCI)
  4. IMPOWER("i",10)=-1-16i(CALCI)=-1+6.1257422745431E-16i
  • For imaginary value '0' is not accepting in CALCI.
