# Imaginary numbers | Solutions with procedure

Here are the solutions to the exercises I gave you here!

$2i+6i-\frac{9i\cdot&space;3}{i^2}$ $=2i+6i-\frac{27i}{-1}=2i+6i+27i=35i$
$8i+2(i-4)^2$ $=8i+2\left&space;(&space;-1-8i+16&space;\right&space;)=8i+2(15-8i)=8i+30-16i=30-8i$
$i(i+4i^4)^2-\sqrt{-8}$ $=i(i+4)^2-2i\sqrt2=i(-1+8i+16)-2i\sqrt2$ $=-i-8+16-2i\sqrt2=-i\left&space;(&space;1+2\sqrt2&space;\right&space;)+8=8-i\left&space;(&space;1+2\sqrt2&space;\right&space;)$
$i^4\sqrt{-9i^2}$ $=1\sqrt{-9(-1)}=\sqrt9=3$
$\varphi+\eta\,&space;i\sqrt{-\pi}$ $=\varphi+\eta\,&space;i\cdot&space;i\sqrt\pi=\varphi-\eta\sqrt\pi$
$i+\cos(i\sqrt{-\pi^2})$ $=i+\cos(i\cdot&space;i\pi)=i+\cos(-\pi)=i+\cos(\pi)=i-1$

Notice that cosine is an even function, therefore cos(-pi)=cos(pi).

$\log_3(2i^4+1)$ $=\log_3(2\cdot&space;1+1)=\log_3(3)=1$

The logarithm in base 3 of 3 is 1 because 1 is the number you must raise 3 to in order to get 3.

$\pi^{\varphi+i^2}$ $=\pi^{\varphi&space;+(-1)}=\pi^{\varphi-1}=\pi^\varphi\pi^{-1}=\frac{\pi^\varphi}{\pi}$
$\sqrt{-12}\,&space;\theta^\log_\theta(-i)$ $=i\sqrt{4\cdot&space;3}\cdot&space;(-i)=2i\sqrt3\cdot&space;(-i)=-(-2)\sqrt3=2\sqrt3$

Now, why is theta raised to the log in base theta of negative i equal to negative i, i.e. the argument of the logarithm? That’s a property:

$a^{\log_a(x)}=x$

Another property is the following:

$\log_a(a)=1$
$\left&space;|&space;5i\sqrt{-50}&space;\right&space;|$ $\left&space;|5i\cdot&space;i\sqrt{25\cdot&space;2}&space;\right&space;|=\left&space;|&space;-5\cdot&space;5\sqrt2&space;\right&space;|=\left&space;|&space;-25\sqrt2&space;\right&space;|=25\sqrt2$
