Simplify i to the eighteenth power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[i^1 = \sqrt{-1}\]\[i^2 = -1\]\[i^3 = -\sqrt{-1}\]\[i^4 = 1\]notice that at this point it repeats itself\[i^5 = \sqrt{-1}= i^{4n+1}\]\[i^6 = -1 = i^{4n + 2}\]\[i^7 = -\sqrt{-1} = i^{4n + 3}\]\[i^8 = 1 = i^{4n}\] notice that 18 = 4n + 2 for n = 4
