Solving An Exponential Equation | Problem 359

Interesting!

[@Essence1123]

z = 0.5 = 2/4 => (-4)^(2/4) = 4throot((-4)^2) = 2

You can prove that -2 = 2 if you use that kind of maths.

My go to for these kinda problems is just write the problem as e^(i*theta+ln(r)) and raise that expression to the value we want over the original exponent inside the expression. This is just a way of dividing away the (i*theta+ln(r)) and replacing it with ln(whatever we want) and it’s that free.

These type of solutions get ugly fast.
