Simplify the expression i1997 + i1999, where i is an imaginary

number.

A. 0

B. i

C. 1 + i

D.1 i
Solution:

i2 = -1 i4 = 1

i3 = -i

Note: i2 = -1
i3 = -i
i4 = 1

If the exponent of i is exactly divisible by 4, then the simplified equivalent of the

imaginary number is equal to 1.

Since 1996 is exactly divisible by 4,

i1996 = 1,
i1997 = i
i1998 = -1
i1999 = -i

Substituting:
i1997 + i1999 = i + ( -i) = 0
Simplify: i29 + i21 + i.

A. 3i

B. 1 I

C. 1 + I

D. 2i
Solution:

Since 20 is exactly divisible by 4,

i20 = 1,

i21 = I

Since 28 is exactly divisible by 4,

i28 = 1,

i29 = I

Substituting:

i29 + i21 + i = i + i + i = 3i
Write in the form a + bi the expression i3217 i427 + i18

A. 2i + 1

B.i + 1

C.2i 1

D. 1 + i
Solution:

Since 3216 is exactly divisible by 4,

i3216 = 1,
i3217 = i

Since 424 is exactly divisible by 4,

i424 = 1,
i425= i
i426= -1,
i427 = -I

Since 16 is exactly divisible by 4,

i16 = 1,
i17= i
i18 = -1,

Substituting:

i3217 i427 + i18 = i (-i) + (-1) = 2i - 1

Write the polar form of the vector 3 + j4.

A. 6 < 53.1

B. 10 <53.1

C. 5 < 53.1

D. 8 < 53.1
Solution:

The polar form of the complex number a + jb is given by : z = r <

where

r = a2 + b2 and = tan -1 = b/a

Substituting:

r = (3)2 + (4)2

r=5

= tan -1 = 4/3
