Hurry! Help! This hideous problem is due 1st period!
I have no idea where to even start on this problem.:o can someone help? and please use the hint because i need some work that will match up with that.
If x^25=4096+4096i and x^23=2048-2048i, find the numerical value of x^2
[hint: determine the relationship between x^25,x^23, and x^2. Use that relationship to write an equation. Reduce, if possible. Be sure to rationalize your denominator.
Its okay if i cant get an answer, just some steps would be amazing!!!

2^10 = 1024 2^11=2048 2^12 = 4096
Maybe that is relevant.
