Question

If i is raised to an even power, then it can not simplify to be

Answer 1

i(Iota) is a greek letter which is used in mathematics to denote the imaginary part of a complex number. It is used to denote the square root of -1.

Let us consider 'i' raised to an even power.

Consider 'i' raised to the power '2' = $i^2 = -1$

Consider 'i' raised to the power '4' = $i^4 =(i^2)^2 = 1$

Consider 'i' raised to the power '6' = $i^6= (i^2)^3 = (-1)^3 = -1$

So, it can be observed that 'i' raised to an even power can simplify to 1 and -1.

But 'i' raised to an even power, can not be simplified to 'i'.
