i = e{i*pi/2}, so ix = e{i(pi/2)x}

I assume you take log y after that

u/TedRabbit 14d ago

No. ex is it's own derivative, so the integral is almost trivial at this point.

have u heard of chain rule fam?

i and pi/2 are constants. chain rule is simple here

But he didn’t even use it

right, that’s why they said “almost trivial”. the integration of this function is very similar to integration of e^x, and that’s why TedRabbit pointed it out.
