Which of the following mathematical equations is true?

1. tan(x) = cos(x) / sin(x)
   
2. e^iπ − 1 = 0
   
3. cosh(x) = (e^x + e^−x) / 2
   
4. log(x^y) = log(x) * log(y)

D?

[StrangerCoug]

Gonna take the 50/50 and pick C.

That is correct

A should be tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) (or equivalently cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x) since tangent and cotangent are each other's reciprocal). The minus sign in B should be a plus sign, and D should be log(x^y) = y * log(x).
