@jim_thompson5910 all the answers u gave me was correct thank you so much :) but can you please help me with more ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'll help with one more. What do you have so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what step have i gotten so far ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -^21 = -1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at this http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/algtrig/ato6/powerlesson.htm

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at the part "When raising i to any integral power, the answer is always..."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 . i , -i or 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which one? it tells you how to find out which one it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

right next to that, it says "Another way to think of this process of simplifying .."

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

isn't it 21?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it says if the reminder is a 1 its i

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I asked for the exponent though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but I see what you mean

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

21/4 = 5 remainder 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large i^{21} = i\] \[\Large -i^{21} = -i\]
