Simplify: i^51

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Well, what's i^4 equal to ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow thanks

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Ummm, not quite i. Also, can you rewrite i^51 as (i^something)^somethingelse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not in this case since 51 is a prime number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is it 1 or -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do i^4*i^4*i^4*...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got final answer of i^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by dividing 51 by 4 = 12.75= 12 sets of i^4 and 1 set of i^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo got it thanks
