simplify (i+1)^4

Solution

simplify

(i + 1)^{4}

Solution

- 4

Solution steps

(i + 1)^{4}

Apply binomial theorem:

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

a = i, b = 1

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

Expand summation

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} i^{2} \cdot 1^{2} : 6 i^{2}

Simplify

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

Simplify

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

= i^{4} + 4 i^{3} + 6 i^{2} + 4 i + 1

Simplify

i^{4} + 4 i^{3} + 6 i^{2} + 4 i + 1 : - 4

= - 4
