Why does the expression i to the power 4n+2 is always equal to -1​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexandra [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

i^{4n+2}

Using exponent properties:

=i^{4n}\cdot i^2

Rewriting:

=(i^4)^n\cdot i^2

Since i⁴ = 1 and i² = -1:

=(1)^n\cdot -1

1 to any power is still 1:

=1\cdot -1 = -1

How to factor this expression <br><br>x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16
Natalija [7]
X²(x - 4) +4 (x - 4)

(x² + 4) (x - 4)

First find the common terms that can enter into both x³ and 4x² then write its down in this case it’s x² that can enter x³ leaving only x _since x³/x² = subtract of the indices. x² will also enter 4x² leaving only four hence you having x² (x - 4)
then do the same for the next pair of terms giving you 4 that can enter into both 4 and 16
Leaving you with +4 (x - 4)

Now you can put the common terms together like so (x² + 4) and choose get one of the other two which are the same= (x - 4)
= (x² + 4) (x - 4)
