Question 10 • CMS 2026-2027 Foundations of Math 3 INITIAL CREDIT

What is the value of the expression i to the 0 power times i to the 1th power times i squared times i cubed times i to the 4th power ?

Answer
A
negative 1
B
i
C
negative i
D
1

Explanation

When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. So the expression is i¹⁰ = (i⁴)² · i² = 1² · (−1) = −1, since i⁴ = 1 and i² = −1. The correct choice is negative 1.
