Question

If n is any positive integer, write the value of \[\frac{i^{4n + 1} - i^{4n - 1}}{2}\].

Advertisements

Solution

\[\frac{i^{4n + 1} - i^{4n - 1}}{2}\]

\[ = \frac{i - \frac{1}{i}}{2} \left( \because i^{4n} = 1, i^{- 1} = \frac{1}{i} \right)\]

\[ = \frac{\frac{i^2 - 1}{i}}{2}\]

\[ = \frac{i^2 - 1}{2i}\]

\[ = \frac{- 1 - 1}{2i}\]

\[ = \frac{- 2}{- 2i} \]

\[ = \frac{- 1}{i}\]

\[ = \frac{- i}{i^2} \left( \because i^2 = - 1 \right)\]

\[ = \frac{- i}{- 1}\]

\[ = i\]
