OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+2i which should go to 4-2 because i=-1 and then 4-2 is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u foil?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn;t know that's what you were doin. hang on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-69-6 i think

\[i= \sqrt{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Umangiasd how did u get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's a definition xD, i'm guessing we're talking 'bout imaginary numbers here ^^!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes we are but how do u solve with it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take it as a constant, then your result is just 4+2i, or \[4+2\sqrt{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, sqrt{-1} is not a real number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry im lost can work this together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, first read the page i'll send you on a message

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay done i=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noooooo, i=sqrt^{-1}, i^2=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):
