how to calculate something to the 100th degree?

yep but opening braces goes like this:

\((2-4*i+2)^{50}\)

I have no idea how to proceed from here and I don't know if I opened the braces correctly

for the second one, I cannot divide 35 by 2 or is it what I should do?

okay so the answer is 4^{50}, I understood the first one.

That is not quite right.  it is (-4i)^50 = (-4)^50 * i^50 = 4^50 * i^50

You need to work out what i^50

once again you do it with a pattern

hint:

i^1=

i^2=

i^3=

i^4=

i^5=

what is the pattern?

i^ 50 = ?

Okay, I got it. it is -1, therefore \(-(4)^{50}\)

You got it !!  

Thanks Alan,

I always forget how this is done
