Question

  1. simplify the following:

a) $i^{47}$
c) $i^{133}$
b) $i^{102}$
d) $i^{1212}$

  1. simplify the expression: $-21 + 26i + 45i^2 + 28i^5$. your answer must have a real part and an imaginary part.
  1. compute the following expressions.

a) $(46 + 26i) + (-25 + 67i)$
b) $(23 + 24i) - (26 + 46i)$
c) $(16 + 19i) + (-17 + 96i) - (75 - 46i)$

  1. find the product.

a) $(-3 - 24i)(27 + 8i)$
b) $(-14 - 32i)(7 - 23i)$

Explanation:

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 \( i^4 = 1 \), \( i^1 = i \).

\( (1)^{33} \times i = i \).

Answer:

\( -i \)

Part b: \( i^{102} \)
