The given problem is 
(1-i)^4
Now, we will reduce it into

(1-i)^4 = ((1-i)^2)^2
                 = (1^2+i^2-2.1.i)^2                                                        (using \ (a-b)^2= a^2+b^2-2ab)

                 =(1-1-2i)^2                                                               (\because i^2 = -1)
                 = (-2i)^2
                 = 4i^2
                 = -4
                                                                         
Therefore, the answer is  -4+i0
