If you take a general complex number x+iy and raise it to the power i, what does this mean and what is the resulting value i.e. what are the real and imaginary parts? I need to apply this to z=-1-i

Maybe try $x + iy = r e^{i\theta}$ and move from there. – Sean Roberson May 31 '17 at 18:03

from the formula derived for a general complex number raised to a general complex power in the link, as arg(z) is multiplied by "c", if I have a complex number raised to pure imaginary number (c=0) the arg(z) will vanish...s there is no angular dependence? – gamma1 May 31 '17 at 19:21

Not sure I picked the best duplicate original, but this was highly voted anyway. A tip from a veteran: check the list of Related questions in the right margin. When asking a standard question you will more often than not find something that fits there! – Jyrki Lahtonen May 31 '17 at 19:29
