Relevant wiki: Euler's Formula
By Euler's formula: e θ i = cos θ + i sin θ , ⟹ i = e ( 2 k + 2 π ) i , where k is an integer. Therefore, i i 1 = e ( 2 k + 2 π ) i × i 1 = e 2 k + 2 π .
And the solution available is e 2 π .
@Chew-Seong Cheong Sir, doesn't this have multiple solutions???? I mean, we are only focusing in the principal branch, right???

Yes, you are right.

So, should I report the problem???? To make the wording better??? Such as "Which one of these is the ith rot of i??"

@Aaghaz Mahajan – I have amended the problem wording.

Let x be the i t h root of i
x i = i
Now, i = e i 2 π
Thus, x = e 2 π
