IMEXP

The IMEXP function returns the exponential of a complex number in rectangular form. It takes one argument which is the exponent (power) to which the complex number is raised. This function is commonly used in engineering and mathematical calculations involving complex numbers.

Usage

Use the IMEXP formula with the syntax shown below, it has 1 required parameter:

=IMEXP(exponent)
Parameters:
  1. exponent (required):
    The power to which the complex number is raised. This must be a complex number in rectangular form.

Examples

Here are a few example use cases that explain how to use the IMEXP formula in Google Sheets.

Calculating the exponential of a complex number

The IMEXP function can be used to calculate the exponential of complex numbers in rectangular form, which is useful in engineering and mathematical calculations.

Solving differential equations

The IMEXP function can be used to solve differential equations involving complex numbers, which arise in many areas of engineering and physics.

Common Mistakes

IMEXP not working? Here are some common mistakes people make when using the IMEXP Google Sheets Formula:

Incorrect number of arguments

The IMEXP formula requires one argument, which is the exponent. If you provide more or less than one argument, the formula will return an error. To fix this, make sure you only provide one argument.

Invalid exponent

The exponent argument must be a numeric value. If you provide a non-numeric value, the formula will return an error. To fix this, make sure you provide a valid number as the exponent.

Incorrect order of arguments

The IMEXP formula requires the exponent argument to be provided first. If you provide the argument in the wrong order, the formula will return an error. To fix this, make sure you provide the exponent argument first.

Incorrect use of brackets

When using the IMEXP formula, you must enclose the exponent argument in brackets. If you omit the brackets, the formula will return an error. To fix this, make sure you enclose the exponent argument in brackets.

Undefined function

If you receive an error message that says "IMEXP is not defined", it means that the formula is not recognised by Google Sheets. This may be because it is not a valid formula, or because it is a custom formula that has not been properly installed. To fix this, check the spelling and syntax of the formula, or contact the creator of the formula to ensure it is properly installed.

Related Formulas

The following functions are similar to IMEXP or are often used with it in a formula:
