The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$i^{-35}=\frac{1}{i^{35}}=\frac{1}{\left(i^{2}\right)^{17} i}$ $=\frac{1}{-i}\times\frac{i}{i}=\frac{i}{-i^{2}}$ $=i$

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
