Answer:
A. (2i)(8) = d. 16i
B. 16i³ = b. -16i
C. (2i)⁴ = a. 16
D. (2i)(8i) = c. -16
Explanation:
A. Multiply 2i by 8 to get 16i, which corresponds to d.
B. The exponent is 3 more than a mulitple of 4 in 16i³, so the answer is negative. -16i corresponds to b.
C. (2i)⁴ has an exponent that is a multiple of 4, so the i isn't needed. 16 corresponds to a.
D. (2i)(8i) simplifies to 2(8) * i². The exponent is 2 more than a multiple of 4, so the answer is negative, without an i. -16 corresponds to c.
