Answer:

i

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us realise that


i^4=1

Next, we rewrite our expression as


i^(457)=i^(456)\cdot i

Since 456 = 4 * 114, we can write the above as


i^(456)\cdot i=(i^4)^(114)\cdot i

Since,


i^4=1

we have


\begin{gathered} (i^4)^(114)\cdot i\Rightarrow(1)^(114)\cdot i \\ =i \end{gathered}

Hence,


\boxed{i^{\mleft\{457\mright\}}=i\text{.}}

which is our answer!
