simplify (-2i)^4

Solution

simplify

(- 2 i)^{4}

Solution

16

Solution steps

(- 2 i)^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 2 i)^{4} = (2 i)^{4}

= (2 i)^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(2 i)^{4} = 2^{4} i^{4}

= 2^{4} i^{4}

2^{4} = 16

= 16 i^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b c} = (a^{b})^{c}

i^{4} = (i^{2})^{2}

= 16 (i^{2})^{2}

Apply imaginary number rule:

i^{2} = - 1

= 16 (- 1)^{2}

(- 1)^{2} = 1

= 16 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

16 \cdot 1 = 16

= 16
