How do you simplify i^6(2i-i^2-3i^3) i6(2ii23i3)?

2 Answers

The answer is -1-5i

Explanation:

First we factorize powers of i.So i^6i6 would become -1. 3i^33i3 would become -3i and i^2i2 would become -1.By putting values
-1(2i-(-1)+3i)1(2i(1)+3i). Now -1(2i+3i+1)1(2i+3i+1) would become -1(5i+1)1(5i+1) and then -5i-15i1

Explanation:

Expand expresion.

i^6(2i-i^2-3i^3)=2i^7-i^8-3i^9i6(2ii23i3)=2i7i83i9

But we know that:

i^1=ii1=i
i^2=-1i2=1 (by definition)
i^3=i^2·i=-ii3=i2i=i
i^4=i^2·i^2=(-1)·(-1)=1i4=i2i2=(1)(1)=1
i^5=i^4·i=1·i=ii5=i4i=1i=i and starts again
i^6=i^5·i=i·i=i^2=-1i6=i5i=ii=i2=1
i^7=i^6·i=-ii7=i6i=i

for this cliclic result, we can write:

i^6(2i-i^2-3i^3)=2i^7-i^8-3i^9=-2i-1-3i=-1-5ii6(2ii23i3)=2i7i83i9=2i13i=15i
