simplify (1+2i)^4

Solution

simplify

(1 + 2 i)^{4}

Solution

- 7 - 24 i

Solution steps

(1 + 2 i)^{4}

Apply binomial theorem:

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

a = 1, b = 2 i

= i = 0 \sum 4 (i 4) \cdot 1^{(4 - i)} (2 i)^{i}

Expand summation

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

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} \cdot 1^{4} (2 i)^{0} : 1

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} \cdot 1^{2} (2 i)^{2} : 24 i^{2}

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} \cdot 1^{0} (2 i)^{4} : 16 i^{4}

= 1 + 8 i + 24 i^{2} + 32 i^{3} + 16 i^{4}

Simplify

1 + 8 i + 24 i^{2} + 32 i^{3} + 16 i^{4} : - 24 i - 7

= - 24 i - 7

Rewrite in standard complex form:

- 7 - 24 i

= - 7 - 24 i
