squareroot of i
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
u can expand the square
\[ \large i=(a+ib)^2=a^2+2abi-b^2=(a^2-b^2)+2abi \]
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
from this
\[ \large a^2-b^2=0 \]
and
\[ \large 2ab=1 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah but we need a geometrical solution

I need to setch how I did it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or can I just answer squareroot of 2 / ?
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
well the equations give us \(a=b\) and \(a=1/\sqrt{2}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont understand....
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
what?

nothing now I see
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks!
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
but ... i have no idea how to do this "geometrically".
OpenStudy (anonymous):
neither have I T_T
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I can see how to do it algebraic and thats how I will turn it in I guess

maybe if u write the complex number \(z=a+ib\) in trigonometric form. that way u could use a geometric approach.
