Proposition: Functional Equation of the Complex Exponential Function

For all complex numbers \(x,y\in\mathbb C\), the complex exponential function fulfills the following functional equation:

\[\exp(x+y)=\exp(x)\cdot \exp(y).\]

In particular, for any complex number \(z=a+ib\) with the real part \(\Re (z)=a\) and the imaginary part \(\Im (z)=b\), we have

\[\exp(z)=\exp(a+ib)=\exp(a)\cdot \exp(ib).\]
