    e^(i×theta)=sin(theta)+cos(theta( doesn't hold true for theta=0 Hence we can't write like this.

    Any complex number z = x + iy can be written as z=rcos(theta)+rsin(theta)=re^i(theta)........if you write z=ix+y then you can use iota with cos(theta) but it is a convention to use z=x+iy . That's it
