Yes, in Mathematica, you can expand an exponential of a sum using the rule:
exp(a+b)=exp(a)⋅exp(b)
For your specific expression Exp[a + b] + c Exp[a + d], you can factor Exp[a] and express it in terms of exponentials of b and d, especially if they are imaginary numbers.
Mathematica Code:
mathematica
Exp[a + b] + c Exp[a + d] // Expand
(* Output: Exp[a] Exp[b] + c Exp[a] Exp[d] *)
Factor[Exp[a + b] + c Exp[a + d], Exp[a]]
(* Output: Exp[a] (Exp[b] + c Exp[d]) *)
If b and d are purely imaginary, you can further use trigonometric expansion:
mathematica
ExpToTrig[Exp[I b] + c Exp[I d]]
This will convert exponentials of imaginary numbers into sine and cosine terms.
Summary:
Use Expand to apply Exp[a + b] → Exp[a] Exp[b].
Use Factor to extract common terms like Exp[a].
Use ExpToTrig to convert exponentials of imaginary numbers into trigonometric functions.
