Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2(1-i)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i^{18} = i^{16} \cdot i^2 = 1 \cdot (-1) = -1\) \(\dfrac{1}{i} = \dfrac{i}{i^2} = \dfrac{i}{-1} = -i \Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{1}{i}\right)^{25} = (-i)^{25} = (-1)^{25} \cdot i^{25} = -1 \cdot i^{24} \cdot i = -i\)…
