i^(50)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is i as in \[\sqrt{-1}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[i^1=i\] \[i^2=-1\] \[i^3=-i\] \[i^4=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the pattern repeats i, -1,-i, 1, i, -1, -i, 1, ... every 4. so just divide 50 by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get a remainder of 2, so \[i^{50}=i^2=-1\]
