no even exponent of a real number can ever result in a negative number. If x is a complex number with the real and imaginary part having the same magnitude, then taking that to the fourth power will result in a real number, which is negative.
Example: (2 + 2i)4, or (-2 + 2i)4, or (2 - 2i)4, or (-2 - 2i)4, Just take (2 - 2i)4, as one to see how it works. First take (2 - 2i)2, then we'll square that result.
(2 - 2i)2 = 4 - 4i - 4i + 4i2 , but i2 is -1, so we have -8i, then square that is 64i2 which is -64.
