complex numbers - I am getting i1=pmi.


I am trying to find i1. I already know that the answer is i, but I can't figure out a way to determine that using math. This is what I am doing: i1 1i (1i)2 11 1 ±i What am I doing wrong?


Answer



I'm not sure where your 3rd expression comes from. In general, to find 1a+bi, where a,bR, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate ¯a+bi=abi to obtain 1a+bi=abi(a+bi)(abi)=abia2+b2 In your case, take a=0,b=1 to obtain 1i=1i1=i.
