Further Examples: ComplexExpand

You can expand complex powers.

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

The result here is not x y because x or y could be complex.

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

This assumes x and y are real.

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

You can expand complex exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions.

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

You can expand trig and hyperbolic functions of complex arguments.

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Using the TargetFunction option

This forces Mathematica to assume both x and y are real.

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

This is an expansion in terms of z and the absolute value of z.

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Now we expand in terms of polar coordinates.

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Finally, here is an expansion in terms of z and its conjugate.

In[13]:=

Out[13]=
