i 15 = -1 1 -i i

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{i^{15}=i^{12+3}}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{i^{4}}\) is = ? \(\large\color{black}{i^{3}}\) is = ? when you say \(\large\color{black}{i^{15}}\) you have, \(\large\color{black}{i^{15}=i^{12+3}}\) \(\large\color{black}{~~~~~=i^{12}\times i^3}\) \(\large\color{black}{~~~~~=i^{~4\times 3~}~\times i^3}\) \(\large\color{black}{~~~~~=(i^{~4})^3~\times i^3}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you already got this? can you tell me the answer then I want to verify it. If you will.

no i dont

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

do you know what \(\large\color{black}{i^{4}}\) is equal to?

OpenStudy (braves12):

the answer is 1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{i^{4}}\) is equal to 1. But the answer is not 1. What is \(\large\color{black}{i^{3}}\) ?

OpenStudy (braves12):

-i

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, so (1)^3 * (-i) is basically what you got from the last line..... the answer is?

OpenStudy (braves12):

-i

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, -i is the answer.

OpenStudy (braves12):
