  • I have one question about this. Why did you put +/- before the radical?

  • @JonathanAnonymous  Because either the positive or the negative answer will work. Both are valid solutions.

  • so +/-i radical 2 is the same as +/- radical 2i? people just tend to regularly put "i" at the end? so it won't be wrong if I don't put "i" at the end?

  • @MissONTM Yes, that's fine. In fact, a lot of people put the i before the radical, just so it is visually clear that the i is not under the radical. Okay either way.

  • so i cubed is negative i and i to the power of 4 is 1?

  • @MsGenius000 Yes, that's correct.

  • @MrPinkClip My country was voted the best country in the world by Newsweek not too long ago, I'll let you find out which one I'm talking about :)

  • @jlmdfnbo Why do you have to insult Americans just because your country is so incompetent?

  • @DiaperedMacintosh i.e writing the numbers in the form of a chalkboard or marker board.
