i^1 = i
i^2 = -1
i^3 = -i
i^4 = 1
i^5 = i
i^6 = -1
i^7 = -i
i^8 = 1
i^9 = i
e.g.
So, i^ 325 = ?
325/4 = 8 remainder 1
( note 1 is the modulus)
same as i^1 = i
Remember, i = sqrt( -1 )
OK, a little bit More
I should really quickly note the definition:
We know that,
i = sqrt -1
and therefore
i^2 = -1
therefore,
i^1 = i [ anything to the power of 1 is itself ]
i^2 = -1 [ given above ]
i^3 = i^2.i^1 = -1.i = -i
Remember, i = sqrt( -1 )
