Answer

32+12i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}i

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Simplify the exponential expression using the rule exey=ex−y\frac{e^x}{e^y} = e^{x-y}.

    eπ2ieπ3i=e(π2−π3)i\frac{e^{\frac{\pi}{2}i}}{e^{\frac{\pi}{3}i}} = e^{\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3}\right)i}
  2. Calculate the difference in the exponents.

    π2−π3=3π6−2π6=π6\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{3\pi}{6} - \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6}

    So the expression becomes:

    eπ6ie^{\frac{\pi}{6}i}
  3. Apply Euler's formula, which states that eiθ=cos⁡(θ)+isin⁡(θ)e^{i\theta} = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta).

    Here, θ=π6\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}.

    eπ6i=cos⁡(π6)+isin⁡(π6)e^{\frac{\pi}{6}i} = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) + i\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)
  4. Evaluate the trigonometric values for θ=π6\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}.

    cos⁡(π6)=32\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} sin⁡(π6)=12\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{2}
  5. Substitute these values back into the expression to get the form a+bia+bi.

    eπ6i=32+i12e^{\frac{\pi}{6}i} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + i\frac{1}{2}

    The expression in the form a+bia+bi is:

    32+12i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}i
