i100=(i2)50
From the fact that i2=1, we get
(1)50=1 as 1 raised to any even power is 1.
Alternatively, we can rewrite in trigonometric form and then in the form reiθ:
i=cos(π2)+isin(π2)
=eiπ2
Raise the exponential to the power of 100:
(eiπ2)100=e50π
=cos(50π)+isin(50π)
=cos2π+isin2π
cos2π=1,sin2π=0
Answer: =1
