\n" ); document.write( "I don't know how the other tutor got a square root into this problem....

\n" ); document.write( "The given expression is

\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Fi%5E57\"

\n" ); document.write( "In mostly all applications, we don't want to leave an imaginary number in the denominator. We want to rationalize the denominator by multiplying by some power of i to make the denominator a real number.

\n" ); document.write( "i^(4n) is equal to 1 for all integers n. So rationalize the expression by multiplying numerator and denominator by i^3, so that the exponent in the denominator is a multiple of 4.
