You can
put this solution on YOUR website!Recognize that by definition

and
From this we can develop the sequence:
Note that this series is i, -1, -i, 1, i, -1, -i, 1, i, ....
We can use this table along with some rules of exponents to simplify the terms in the problem.
Let's try to simplify

. We use one of the laws of exponents to rewrite
the this as

. From the above table you can see that

Substitute this to get

. We can further use a law of exponents
to factor this term into

. But

so:
So

.
We can use this result to find

. Note that

. Substitute
-1 for

to get

.
Then use this result and procedure to find that:
Repeat this process to find that:
Substitute these four results into the original problem:
The substitution results in:
The answer to your problem is 2i.
Hope this helps.
