An imaginary is nothing to get tripped up over here. It just means a compound number e^3i = (A + Bi)(A + Bi), so (2AB)^-3 = e and A^2 = B^2, something along that it's not important. It's just possible to do.
e^x is a function who's output also the slope at x. You are rotating a fixed line segment:
| / - \ | / - \ |
e goes on forever. pi goes on forever. You can cancel out these two parts that go on forever with power vs. roots.
Imaginary numbers throw in a negative so precision settles and cancels out instead of accumulates.
