The mathematical rule that states Square root(ab)=Squareroot(a) * Squareroot(b) is only applicable with positive real numbers. This is a proof is false on the grounds it breaks this rule
False. When using mathematics, the substitution of a variable for a negative number allows it to be used as a positive number. Engineering Calculus I and II, Engineering Physics, and Advanced Math professor have taught me that four times over again.
Great intellectual addition to the conversation. I will say that I do realize that the substitution of a variable does not make that number a real number so there may be an issue there. However, your great intellect out weighs my own and so I will drop the sword and shield of this fight and bow down to the great Bethorien for it is their intelligence that all others, including myself, envy for the entirety of ones life
1=sqrt(1)
1=Sqrt(x*x)
1=Sqrt(x^2)
1=x
Sub back in -1
1=-1
There’s your proof.
-0.707106781 + 0.707106781 i
(-1)^(6/8) =
-0.707106781 + 0.707106781 i
(-1)^(6/8)= 8√(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)= ((1)(1)(1)) = 8√(1)
