Problem using Casio fx-991CE X calculator to solve "e^(i*pi)"

3k Views Asked by At

I'm trying to solve e^(i*pi) on a Casio fx-991CE X calculator.

The calculator is in Complex mode (MENU>2:Complex).

I Input e^(i*pi) and press "=" and get an error message instead of -1.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, mine does the same thing. It probably wasn't programmed to recognise $e^{ix}$, but it does recognise $\cos(x)+i\sin(x)$, which is equivalent.
