You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Apparently it seems like the other tutor taught you this...:)\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From Euler's formula, \"e%5E%28i%2Atheta%29+=+cos%28theta%29+%2B+i%2Asin%28theta%29\". By substituting \"theta+=+pi\" you will obtain \"e%5E%28i%2Api%29+=+-1\", \"e%5E%28i%2Api%29+%2B+1+=+0\". Euler's formula itself is derived using the Maclaurin series for \"e%5Ex\", namely \"e%5Ex+=+sum%28%28x%5Ek%29%2Fk%21%2C+k=0%2C+infinity%29\" (you will learn this sometime in calculus).
