    divide exponent by 4

    since the remainder is zero, the equation can be rewritten as i^0 and any number to the 0 power is 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The pattern of imaginary numbers taken to exponents goes as thus:

    i^1 = i

    i^2 = - 1

    i^3 = - i

    i^4 = 1

    To solve this problem, divide the exponent by 4:

    32/4 = 8

    Now rewrite i^32 as (i^4) ^8

    (When exponents are raised by an exponent you multiply them together)

    i^4=1, this is your answer
