If i is raised to an odd power, then it cannot simplify to be?
-1, -i, i

Solution:

In a complex number, i is refered to imaginary number. We know that i = √-1.

Squaring on both the sides i² = -1

If we increase the power again by multiplying i on both the sides

i³ = i² × i

= (-1)i

= -i

Hence we observe that we get -1 for even power which clearly shows that we cannot get the same value for odd power.

Therefore, if i is raised to an odd power, then it can not simplify to be -1.

If i is raised to an odd power, then it cannot simplify to be?

Summary:

If i is raised to an odd power, then it cannot simplify to be -1.
