Evaluate:(i) \((\sqrt{-1})^{192}\)(ii) \((\sqrt{-1})^{93}\)(iii) \((\sqrt{-1})^{30}\)

Answer»

Since i = \((\sqrt{-1})\) so

(i) L.H.S. = \((\sqrt{-1})^{192}\)

⇒ i192

⇒ i4 x 48 = 1

Since it is of the form i4n = 1 so the solution would be 1

(ii) L.H.S.= \((\sqrt{-1})^{93}\)

⇒ i4 x 23 + 1

⇒ i4n + 1

⇒ i1 = i

Since it is of the form of i4n + 1 = i so the solution would be simply i.

(iii) L.H.S = \((\sqrt{-1})^{30}\)

⇒ i4 x 7 + 2

⇒ i4n + 2

⇒ i2 = -1

Since it is of the form i4n + 2 so the solution would be -1
