We see that during multiplication, the norm of the new number is the *product* of the norms of the multiplied numbers, and its argument is the *sum* of the arguments of the multiplied numbers. In the complex plane, this looks as follows:

Of course, we know that $z = \pm 1$ are two solutions, but which other solutions are possible? We take a systematic approach:
$$ z = e^{{\rm i} \varphi} \Rightarrow z^4 = e^{4{\rm i} \varphi} = 1 $$
$$\Leftrightarrow 4 \varphi = n 2 \pi$$
$$\Leftrightarrow \varphi = 0, \varphi = \frac{\pi}{2}, \varphi = -\frac{\pi}{2}, \varphi = \pi$$
$$\Leftrightarrow z = 1, z = i, z = -i, z = -1$$

$$\sin'\varphi = \cos\varphi.$$
### Hyperbolic functions
From
$e^{\rm i \varphi} = \left( \cos\varphi + {\rm i} \sin\varphi\right)$,
it immediately follows that
$$\cos\varphi = \frac{e^{{\rm i} \varphi} + e^{-{\rm i} \varphi}}{2}.$$
and
$$\sin\varphi = \frac{e^{{\rm i} \varphi} - e^{-{\rm i} \varphi}}{2{\rm i}}.$$
It is then tempting to generalise these functions for imaginary angles.
These functions are known as hyperbolic functions. They are are called
the hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic sine functions and they are denoted
as $\sinh$ and $\cosh$: $$\cosh(x) = \frac{e^x + e^{-x}}{2};$$
$$\sinh(x) = \frac{e^x - e^{-x}}{2}.$$ From these definitions the
following properties can easily be derived.
1. Derivatives $$\frac{d\cosh(x)}{dx} = \sinh(x);$$
$$\frac{d\sinh(x)}{dx} = \cosh(x).$$
2. $$\cosh^2(x) - \sinh^2(x) = 1.$$
3. ‘Double angle’ formulas: $$\cosh(2x) = \cosh^2(x) + \sinh^2(x);$$
$$\sinh(2x) = 2\cosh(x) \sinh(x).$$
It may seem that these function are rather exotic; however they occur in
everyday life: the shapes of power lines and of soap films can be
described by hyperbolic cosines and sines!
Finally, the hyperbolic tangent is defined as
$$\tanh(x) = \frac{\sinh(x)}{\cosh(x)}.$$ Its derivative is given as
$$\tanh'(x) = 1 + \frac{\sinh^2 x}{\cosh^2 (x)} = - \frac{1}{\cosh^2(x)}.$$
