Splitting negative numbers by a negative numer gives us a negative numer. Digitizing is a division by the power. For this reason the root of minus one equals one minus or one, becaouse the multiplication of negative numbers gives a natural number.
I do not know wheter I got right. On researchgate are wiser people then me, that why I ask.
Piotr,
>(square) root of minus one equals one minus or one,
No.
That is not correct.
If it was, I could square '1' and by your reasoning the answer would be '-1'.
This is not possible.
The square root of '-1' has no real solutions. We admit that negative numbers, when squared, are positive thusly:
a.b=1
let a now be -a
-a.b = -1
If you let b be -b then;
-a.-b = - -1
NOT NOT A, in formal logic must be A, so negatives square to yield positive values. And so the square root of -1 is not present in the real number series.
