i^21+i^32-i^67 =

OpenStudy (hba):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

i=?

OpenStudy (hba):

i=underroot(-1)

hartnn (hartnn):

i^2=?

OpenStudy (hba):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i^3=?

hartnn (hartnn):

i^3=?

hartnn (hartnn):

i^4=?

OpenStudy (hba):

i^3=-i ,i^4=1

hartnn (hartnn):

i^5=? so u see the pattern ?

OpenStudy (hba):

I understand the pattern but when i get higher powers i get confused :(

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge i=\sqrt{-1} \\ \huge i^2=-1 \\ \huge i^3=-i \\ \huge i^4=1 \\~ \\~ \huge i^5=\sqrt{-1} \\ \huge i^6=-1 \\ \huge i^7=-i \\ \huge i^8=1\\~\\~ \huge i^9=\sqrt{-1} \\ \huge i^{10}=-1 \\ \huge i^{11}=-i \\ \huge i^{12}=1\)

hartnn (hartnn):

so i raised to any 4th power =1

hartnn (hartnn):

write i^21 as i*i^20 what is i^20 = ?

OpenStudy (hba):

1 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

so i^21 = ?

OpenStudy (hba):

i

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, what about i^32 = ?

OpenStudy (hba):

1

hartnn (hartnn):

try i^67

OpenStudy (hba):

i^3

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct, and i^3= ?

OpenStudy (hba):

-underroot(-1)

hartnn (hartnn):

thats -i and final answer = ?

OpenStudy (hba):

1

hartnn (hartnn):

yup. clear with all steps ?

OpenStudy (hba):

yeah thanksalot :)

hartnn (hartnn):

wait... i+1-(-i)=?

OpenStudy (hba):

No it is a plus not a minus sorry :)

OpenStudy (hba):

I wrote the question wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

then its 1

OpenStudy (hba):

Yeah :)
