Question: Re: Symbolic operation using functions

Hello there, 

While I was trying to calculate the complex (i.e., P and Q) power equations, I got this question. 

Thus, I wonder if I can have a chance to ask the question here:

a. When the voltage and current are defined as functions, taking the t (time) as a input variable, I was not able to get the proper outcome from the operation. Those attempts are labeled as '#1' and '#2' in the attached worksheet. 

b. When the voltage and current are defined as simple complex expression, I was able to see what I wanted. The expression is named as 'ideal' in the attached worksheet. 

c. Therefore, my question is to see if there is a way to make the operaion using the functions in the same way as done by the simple expressions. 

d. Any insight would be appreciated. 

Thank you.
