Answer:

- I^20+1 i= /2 i^2= -1 i^3= -i i^4= 1 for every four it repeat itself. 4, 8, 12, 16, 20. therefore i^20=1 1+1=2.

The value of
\(i^(20) + 1\) is 2

The value of
i^(20) + 1 can be determined by considering the powers of the imaginary unit i

The powers of i follow a cycle:
i^1 = i,
i^2 = -1,
i^3 = -i, and
i^4 = 1. After
i^4, the powers repeat.

Since(20 is a multiple of 4, we know that
\(i^(20)\) will be equivalent to
\(i^4\), which is 1.

Therefore,
i^(20) + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2

So, the value of
\(i^(20) + 1\) is 2
