Answer 1

\[\Large i^{24}\]?

Answer 2

A. -i
B. 1
C. -1
D. i

Answer 3

yes...yes....
anyway, when faced with raising i to large exponents, simply divide that exponent by 4, and get the remainder....

So... what's the remainder when 24 is divided by 4?

Answer 4

6

Answer 5

That's the quotient... I'm asking for the remainder ;)

Answer 6

im not understanding

Answer 7

I can't believe I have to refresh you on division XD
For example... when 10 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1.
Since 10-1 is divisible by 3.

See?
10 divided by 3 is 3, with remainder 1...
remember now?

Answer 8

-1

Answer 9

Answer 10

How did you get it?

Answer 11

Answer 12

Telling answers is forbidden.
Leading you to it, however, is encouraged.
Now, what I asked for isn't that tricky... try it!

When you divide 24 by 4, what's the remainder?
(I promise, this is the only 'tricky' part of this question)

Answer 13

its no remainder

Answer 14

That's right.
Now refer to this list...
if the remainder is 1, then it's i
if the remainder is 2, then it's -1
if the remainder is 3, then it's -i
if there is no remainder, then it's 1.

Which is it?
