complex numbers - Are both square roots of -1 valid in Euler's Identity?



In every case I've ever seen, Euler's Identity is written as



eiπ+1=0




with the "positive" 1. However, my understanding is that both i and i are valid for 1.



Does this mean that



eiπ+1=0



is also a valid identity?


Answer



Yes.




eiπ=cos(π)+isin(π)=1
