Algebra 2 - Math tutorial for simplifying an imaginary number to a higher power, i^38

The video tutorial introduces the concept of the imaginary unit I, defined as the square root of -1. It explains why using I is more convenient than using sqrt -1 for mathematical operations. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate powers of I, showing that the powers repeat every four steps. This pattern simplifies calculations involving higher powers of I.
