Learn how to simplify i raised to a higher power

The video tutorial explains how to simplify powers, focusing on the concept of adding exponents when multiplying. It demonstrates simplifying I to the 17th by using I to the 4th, which equals one. The tutorial also introduces a method to simplify large powers by dividing the exponent by four and using the remainder as the new exponent.

What is the result of multiplying i to the 4th power five times?

• i to the 1st power

• i to the 17th power

• i to the 20th power

• i to the 5th power

What is the value of i to the 4th power?

• 0

• 1

• i

• -1

How can i to the 17th power be simplified using i to the 4th power?

• By dividing 17 by 4 and using the remainder

• By adding 4 to 17

• By subtracting 4 from 17

• By multiplying i to the 4th power four times

When dividing an exponent by 4, what should be done with the remainder?

• Add it to the original exponent

• Use it as the new exponent

• Multiply it by 4

• Ignore it

If you have i to the 177th power, how can you simplify it?

• Subtract 4 from 177

• Add 177 to 4
