Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 385

Question: If $ n $ is a positive integer, then which of the following relations is false

Options:

A) $ i^{4n}=1 $

B) $ {i^{4n-1}}=i $

C) $ {i^{4n+1}}=i $

D) $ {i^{-4n}}=1 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

We know that $ i^{2}=-1 $
Þ $ {{(i^{2})}^{2}}={{(-1)}^{2}}=1\Rightarrow i^{4n}=1^{n} $ and therefore $ {i^{4n-1}}=-i $
