Complex frequency of an exponentially damped sinusoidal function
(1/2) > >>
T. Mandresy Billy:
In my textbook, Engineering Circuit Analysis 8.Ed by William H. Hayt (Chapter 14, Section 14.1 page 536) I stumbled across a section explaining the complex frequency. The goal is to cover the concept of complex frequency when it comes to exponentially damped sinusoidal functions.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

How did eσt become ejσt out of the blue?
And why did ej(ωt) become ej(jωt) ? Any help would be much appreciated.
Wimberleytech:
It comes from Eulers relationship
T. Mandresy Billy:
Thanks for stopping by. I know this Euler's relationship. The real mystery is below. Look at it and you will find, from the mathematical expressions that:

exp(σt) become exp(jσt). How did this happen?
why did exp(jωt) become exp(jjωt)?

AN ADDITIONAL j SUDDENTLY APPEARS.
Wimberleytech:
Sorry...when the image came on my screen i did not see the last line.

It is just algebra to get to the last step.  First get all terms in the form of e^x and then recombine. 

There is a typo in the book.  That accounts for the extra j.  It should not be there.
T. Mandresy Billy:
Glad to be reassured it was just a typo. I will email the editor about this then.
