Answer

C

The exponential form of a complex number zz is given by Euler's formula, which relates the polar form to the exponential form.

A complex number can be written in:

  • Rectangular form: z=a+ibz = a + ib
  • Polar form: z=r(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)z = r(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta), where rr is the modulus and θ\theta is the argument.
  • Exponential form: z=reiθz = re^{i\theta}

Comparing this with the given options:
(A) ex+x+x2/2!e^{x+x+x^2/2!} is not the standard exponential form.
(B) exe^x is a real exponential function.
(C) reiθre^{i\theta} is the correct exponential form of a complex number.
(D) a+iba+ib is the rectangular form of a complex number.

The correct option is (C).

The final answer is C\boxed{\text{C}}
