simplify (-2+i)^4

Solution

simplify

(- 2 + i)^{4}

Solution

- 7 - 24 i

Solution steps

(- 2 + i)^{4}

Apply binomial theorem:

(a + b)^{n} = i = 0 \sum n (i n) a^{(n - i)} b^{i}

a = - 2, b = i

= i = 0 \sum 4 (i 4) (- 2)^{(4 - i)} i^{i}

Expand summation

= \frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} (- 2)^{4} i^{0} + \frac{4 !}{1 ! ( 4 - 1 ) !} (- 2)^{3} i^{1} + \frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} (- 2)^{2} i^{2} + \frac{4 !}{3 ! ( 4 - 3 ) !} (- 2)^{1} i^{3} + \frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} (- 2)^{0} i^{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} (- 2)^{4} i^{0} : 16

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{1 ! ( 4 - 1 ) !} (- 2)^{3} i^{1} : - 32 i

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} (- 2)^{2} i^{2} : 24 i^{2}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{3 ! ( 4 - 3 ) !} (- 2)^{1} i^{3} : - 8 i^{3}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} (- 2)^{0} i^{4} : i^{4}

= 16 - 32 i + 24 i^{2} - 8 i^{3} + i^{4}

Simplify

16 - 32 i + 24 i^{2} - 8 i^{3} + i^{4} : - 24 i - 7

= - 24 i - 7

Rewrite in standard complex form:

- 7 - 24 i

= - 7 - 24 i
