1?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

hint: i^4 = 1 i^2 = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um? So would you just follow the pattern all the way up?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yep

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sorry i^1 = i i^2 = -1 i^3 = -i i^4 = 1 i^5 = i . . .

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so every 4th power of i will be 1 so i^32 = 1 = i^36
