So in this problem, what we're being asked to do is to show that i raise to the 4k plus one power is equal to i as long as k is a natural number.
00:09
So remember, a natural number, those are your counting numbers.
00:13
So it's one, two, three, four, five, etc.
00:16
Basically, it's all your positive whole numbers.
00:19
Okay.
00:19
Well, the first thing i'm going to do is i'm going to use our product rule for exponents.
00:24
Remember, our product rule says if we have a to the m times a to the n, this is equal to to a to the m plus n power.
00:33
Well, in this case, we're going backwards.
00:35
So essentially, we're given this expression, we're going to split it up...
