Question

Find the least positive integral value of n for which  \[\left( \frac{1 + i}{1 - i} \right)^n\] is real.

Sum

Solution

`((1+i)/(1-i))^n`

Simplify the base

`(1+i)/(1-i)`

`= ((1+i)(1+i))/((1-i)(1+i)) = (1+i)^2/(1^2-i^2)`

(1 + i)2 = 1 + 2i + i2 = 1 + 2i − 1 = 2i

12 − i2 = 1 − (−1) = 2

`(1+i)/(1-i) = (2i)/2 = i`

`((1+i)/(1-i))^n = i^n`

Find the least positive n

n = 2

n = 4 ...

n = 2
