Simplify. i^67

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

i^1 = i i^2 = -1 i^3 = -i i^4 = 1 i^5 = i This pattern repeats indefinitely. So if you want to find i^k where k is any number, you just divide k by 4 and determine the remainder. So if k = 25 for example, then 25/4 = 6 remainder 1 The remainder will tell us the value of i^25. Since the remainder is 1, this means that i^25 = i^1, but from above, i^1 = i, this means that i^25 = i

So what you need to do is divide 67 by 4 to find the remainder Once you have the remainder, use it to figure out what i^67 is
