explain why j2 = -1 and not 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe the definition comes from the complex variable plane, where Im is the y axis and x is Re, then magnitude of a unit vector along -1 on Im axis is defined as sqrt(-1) I'm not sure if that's correct though, look up complex plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it *i* in place of *j*??? @ketz ... It should be... 'i' is the positive square root of -1...

OpenStudy (ketz):

yes j instead of i...
