Simplify the expression i1997 + i1999, where i is an imaginary number.

A. 0 B. i C. 1 + i

D.1 i

Solution:
i
i2 = -1 i4 = 1

i3 = -i

Note:

i2 = -1 i3 = -i i4 = 1 If the exponent of i is exactly divisible by 4, then the simplified equivalent of the imaginary number is equal to 1. Since 1996 is exactly divisible by 4, i1996 = 1, i1997 = i i1998 = -1 i1999 = -i Substituting: i1997 + i1999 = i + ( -i) = 0

Simplify: i29 + i21 + i.

A. 3i B. 1 I C. 1 + I D. 2i

Solution:

Since 20 is exactly divisible by 4, i20 = 1, i21 = I

Since 28 is exactly divisible by 4, i28 = 1, i29 = I

Substituting: i29 + i21 + i = i + i + i = 3i

Write in the form a + bi the expression i3217 i427 + i18

A. 2i + 1 B.i + 1 C.2i 1 D. 1 + i

Solution:

Since 3216 is exactly divisible by 4, i3216 = 1, i3217 = i Since 424 is exactly divisible by 4, i424 = 1, i425= i i426= -1, i427 = -I Since 16 is exactly divisible by 4, i16 = 1, i17= i i18 = -1, Substituting: i3217 i427 + i18 = i (-i) + (-1) = 2i - 1

Write the polar form of the vector 3 + j4.

A. 6 < 53.1 B. 10 <53.1 C. 5 < 53.1 D. 8 < 53.1

Solution:

The polar form of the complex number a + jb is given by : z = r <

where
r = a2 + b2 and = tan -1 = b/a

Substituting: r = (3)2 + (4)2 r=5 = tan -1 = 4/3 = 53.1
