If you saw the first one (a LONG time ago), then you should know the pattern:

                   \(i=\sqrt{-1}\)

                   \(i^2=-1\)

                   \(i^3=-i\)

                   \(i^4=1\)

 

Now, try to solve this:

          \(i^{2016}+i^{2015}+i^{2014}...+i^2+i\)

 

This is actually much easier than it looks.

          \(36i\)

 

This is requires you to use the technique:

          \(i^{20162015}\)

 

A little non-imaginary question:

In factoring, can't you just use 2-1 for everything?

Example: Factor x+1   SOLUTION: (x+1)(2-1)? LOL I don't think so (don't get me wrong: I know very well that you cannot use 1 in factoring)

 

GOOD LUCK AND MAY THE MATHS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR laugh

i^2016 + i^2015 + i^2014........i^2 + i =0
