I’m trying to learn for my Algebra class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
In the definition of Imaginary Numbers i2 = -1,
1) How can we evaluate i10 ?
2) How can we evaluate i20 ?
3) How can we evaluate iN , for N >0?
On three exercises show your work step- by-step. No work, no credi
HINT:
To find the rule for powers of i :
i0 = 1
i1= i
i2 = -1
i3 = i * i2 = i(-1) = -i
i5 = i2*i3 = (-1)(-i) = i
