Answer

The value of i4n+3 is given by the function, which returns i if 4n+3 is congruent to 1 modulo 4, -1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 2 modulo 4, -i if 4n+3 is congruent to 3 modulo 4, and 1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 0 modulo 4.

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for the value of i4n+3, where i is the imaginary unit and n is an integer.

Step 2 :The imaginary unit i is defined as 1, and it has a cyclic property: i1=i, i2=1, i3=i, and i4=1. After i4, the cycle repeats.

Step 3 :Therefore, we can simplify i4n+3 by using the cyclic property of i.

Step 4 :The function first calculates the exponent 4n+3, then it calculates the cyclic exponent by taking the modulus of the exponent and 4.

Step 5 :The function then returns the value of i to the power of the cyclic exponent.

Step 6 :i4n+3 returns i if 4n+3 is congruent to 1 modulo 4, -1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 2 modulo 4, -i if 4n+3 is congruent to 3 modulo 4, and 1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 0 modulo 4.

Step 7 :The value of i4n+3 is given by the function, which returns i if 4n+3 is congruent to 1 modulo 4, -1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 2 modulo 4, -i if 4n+3 is congruent to 3 modulo 4, and 1 if 4n+3 is congruent to 0 modulo 4.
