standard_description: Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
problem_activity: Task
Let $z = 1 + i$ where $i^2 = -1$.   Calculate $z^2, z^3,$ and  $z^4$.
Graph $z, z^2, z^3,$ and  $z^4$ in the complex plane.  What do you notice about the positions of these  numbers?
What is $z^{100}$?  Explain.
