The term where i=sqrt(-1) is most nearly:
To solve this problem, we can first begin to simplify both the numerator and denominator:
(1-i)2(1+i)2=(1-i)(1-i)(1+i)(1+i)=1-2i+i21+2i+i2
Since we know i = -1, we also know i2=-1.
Plugging this back into our expression:
1-2i+i21+2i+i2=1-2i+(-1)1+2i+(-1)=-2i2i=-1
Therefore, our answer is -1.
