\"i=sqrt%28-1%29\" so
\n" ); document.write( "\"i%5E2=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "i^32 is the same as \"i%5E%282%2A16%29\" and again i^2 is -1. So we just have -1^16 which is 1 since its a negative being taken to an even power.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have \"15-5%2A%28-1%29%2B3%2A1\" which would be 15+5+3 which is 23
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
