Solution

`(3"i"^5 + 2"i"^7 + "i"^9)/("i"^6 + 2"i"^8 + 3"i"^18)`

= `(3("i"^4*"i") + 2("i"^4*"i"^3) + ("i"^4)^2*"i")/("i"^4*"i"^2 + 2("i"^4)^2+ 3("i"^2)^9)`

= `(3(1)* "i" + 2(1)(- "i") + (1)^2 * "i")/((1)(-1) + 2(1)^2 + 3(-1)^9)`    ...[∵ i2 = –1, i3 = – i, i4 = 1]

= `(3"i" - 2"i" + "i")/(-1 + 2 - 3)`

= `(2"i")/(-2)`

= – i
