Question

write the power of \\(i\\) as \\(i\\), \\(-1\\), \\(-i\\), or \\(1\\).

\\i^{-37}\\

\\(i^{-37} = \square\\)
(simplify your answer. type an exact answer, using radicals and \\(i\\) as needed.)

Explanation:

Rewrite the negative exponent

Using the Complex Numbers knowledge point

$$ i^{-37} = \frac{1}{i^{37}} $$

Simplify the positive power of i

Using the Powers of i knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Evaluate the reciprocal

Using the Complex Numbers knowledge point

$$ \frac{1}{i} = \frac{1 \cdot i}{i \cdot i} = \frac{i}{i^2} = \frac{i}{-1} = -i $$

Answer:

Write the power of \(i\) as \(i\), \(-1\), \(-i\), or \(1\).
