thank you i finally understand the trick behind imaginary numbers!!!!!! :D
-
This was very helpful in remembering what my intermediate algebra teacher had taught. I just needed that refresher...this was it! Thank you!!
-
im here exactly for the deeper meaning of i ,not to see what i and the rest of the masses have been taught to do with i, damn it .where can i find the reason for the inception of this weird idea

@waynemv I didn't really express it right above. But, the situation is that i and -i appear to share all the same properties, they are like identical twins. The only distinction between them seems to be that they are not each other - in every other respect they seem interchangeable! (As long as one is consistent and interchanges them everywhere they occur within a problem.)

i^2 = -1, leads to an ambiguity that's often glossed over. That equation has two solutions, as also (-i)^2 = -1. One might ask: Are i and -i the same or different numbers? Do you have students take for granted these are different numbers, or do you actually prove so? Given that -0 = 0, it's not obvious that -i can't be equal to i. Also, any polynomial with all real coefficients that has i for a root also has -i for a root. Is that a mere coincidence? So what's the distinction between i and -i?

anyway thanks a lot teacher

Hard!

You distinguish it simply by ignoring that it can be divided by 2.
It's all based off of multiples of 4. (if it isn't divisible by 4 like "26" then that's where the 4 + comes in. i^26 = -1
Ignore the 2!

@MattyHild lol fuck you if it numbs ur mind dont read them dumbass. i bet you can't even learn complex numbers
-
Amazing.. Keep the mind-numbing arguments to cat videos, please.
I left my mouse on the screen and thought the dude in the vid had two mice. tripped me out

A number times the same number is a negative. WE MUST GO DEEPER.
