Answer:


125i

Explanation:

When we have potential expression that include imaginary numbers, we have to consider some basic results, because these imaginary potential expression are cyclical.

We know that:


i=√(-1)

So, elevating both members to a third power, we have:


i^(3)=(√(-1) )^(3)=\sqrt{(-1)^(3) }=√(-1)=i

So,
i^(3)=i, which is the beginning, that's why we say that it's like a cycle.

So, from the problem, we have:


5^(3) i^(9)

To solve this, we consider the operations from the beginning:


5^(3)=125; and


i^(9)=(i^(3))^(3)=(i)^(3)=i; because
i^(3)=i

Therefore, the result would be
125i

______

Answer:

125i

___________________

Explanation:

5³× i⁹ = 125 × i¹ = 125i

By the way :

i⁹ = (i⁴)²× i¹ = (1)²×i = i.
