Answer:

the value of the given expression is -1

Explanation:

i^0 x i^1 x i^2 x i^3 x i^4

Lets plug in the equivalent values

i^0 = 1

i^1= i

i^2= -1

i^3= -i

i^4= 1

Plug in all the values in the given expression


1 * i * (-1) * (-i) * 1

(-1 times -i is i) negative and negative becomes positive

i * i * 1

i*i =i^2 = -1

=1*1= -1
