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
1
C
negative i
Explanation
When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. Thus the product is i¹⁰ = (i⁴)² · i² = 1² · (−1) = −1, so the value is negative 1.
