Solve (4i^2)^2/4i^2=b

$$\frac { ( 4 i ^ { 2 } ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 i ^ { 2 } } = b$$

Solve for b

$$b=-4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent. Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$$\left(4i^{2}\right)^{1}=b$$

Calculate i to the power of 2 and get -1.

$$\left(4\left(-1\right)\right)^{1}=b$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$\left(-4\right)^{1}=b$$

Calculate -4 to the power of 1 and get -4.

$$-4=b$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$b=-4$$
