Original: 4i^206+5(sqrt(-196))-8i^18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(i^206)+5(sqrt(196)i)-8 (i^2)^9
\n" ); document.write( "= 4 (i^2)^103 + 5(14i)-8(-1)^9
\n" ); document.write( "=4(-1)^103 + 70i - (-1)
\n" ); document.write( "=4(-1)+70i+1
\n" ); document.write( "=-4+70i+1
\n" ); document.write( "=-3+70i
