to foil two parentheses box method would be great/neat |dw:1441042176623:dw|i times -i = ??

nnesha · Answer

when you multiply same bases  you should `add` their exponents

anonymous · Answer

okay i remember here is rule a while ago but i cant remember it that well.

nnesha · Answer

alright 
so  when we multiply same bases we should add their exponents $$\huge\rm x^m \times x^n=x^{m+n}$$

nnesha · Answer

i is same as i to the one power 
so $$\huge\rm i^1 \times i^1=??$$

anonymous · Answer

the thing i guess that is confusing me is the fact that my problem does not contain exponents. The i thing does sort of make sense.

nnesha · Answer

no there is an exponent 
`invisible one`

nnesha · Answer

i is same as i^1

anonymous · Answer

okay

anonymous · Answer

so my negative i should be squared then your suposed to take (-1) (-i) i^2

anonymous · Answer

to make it with out its exponent

nnesha · Answer

multiply i times i which is i^2
and i^2 =what ?

anonymous · Answer

i?

nnesha · Answer

$$\large\rm i=\sqrt{-1}~~~~~~~so~~i^2=?$$
