b) $(23 + 24i) - (26 + 46i)$
c) $(16 + 19i) + (-17 + 96i) - (75 - 46i)$
- find the product.
a) $(-3 - 24i)(27 + 8i)$
b) $(-14 - 32i)(7 - 23i)$
Problem 1: Simplify powers of \( i \)
Part a: \( i^{47} \)
Step1: Recall \( i^n \) cycle: \( i^1 = i, i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1 \), cycle length 4.
Divide exponent 47 by 4: \( 47 \div 4 = 11 \) remainder \( 3 \). So \( i^{47} = i^{4 \times 11 + 3} = (i^4)^{11} \times i^3 \).
Step2: Substitute \( i^4 = 1 \), \( i^3 = -i \).
\( (1)^{11} \times (-i) = -i \).
Step1: Divide 102 by 4: \( 102 \div 4 = 25 \) remainder \( 2 \). So \( i^{102} = i^{4 \times 25 + 2} = (i^4)^{25} \times i^2 \).
Step2: Substitute \( i^4 = 1 \), \( i^2 = -1 \).
\( (1)^{25} \times (-1) = -1 \).
Step1: Divide 133 by 4: \( 133 \div 4 = 33 \) remainder \( 1 \). So \( i^{133} = i^{4 \times 33 + 1} = (i^4)^{33} \times i^1 \).
Step2: Substitute \( i^4 = 1 \), \( i^1 = i \).
\( (1)^{33} \times i = i \).
