Default Re: Ok so I just proved 1 = -1. Someone help me find my error.

I'm not sure I can give you a technical reason, but certain mathematical laws or priciples that work for real numbers don't necessarily work for complex numbers.

sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a) / sqrt(b) is only true for real numbers.

I have a hard enough time even understanding what a complex number actually is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
