	x^2 = -16		2016-12-12
		From A student: x to the second power = -16 what number solves the equation? Answered by Penny Nom.
	I started with Euler's identity and manipulated it		2011-11-14
		From anonymous: I started with Euler's identity and manipulated it e^i*pi=-1 e^-i*pi=(-1)^-1 e^-i*pi=-1 e^-i*i*pi=(-1)^i e^--pi=(-1)^i e^pi=(-1)^i type it in in a calculator and you get e^pi=23.1406926... and (-1)^i=0.0432139183... What did I do wrong? Answered by Robert Dawson.
	i^i		2010-11-21
		From trale: Can we use e^ix=cosx+isinx for finding i^i like that: x= pi/2 => e^(ipi/2)=0+i then [e^(ipi/2)]^i=i^i.then we find i^i= 0,207879576.... is it true? can we give value for x for free?thank you. Answered by Harley Weston.
	A quadratic equation with imaginary numbers		2010-06-03
		From Alissa: I am solving a quadratic equation and I got this far; (x-4+i)(x-4-i)=0 but how do I add the imaginary numbers i know you multiply x by x and then add -4 + -4 but what do you do with the i's? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Imaginary roots		2007-12-09
		From Josh: What is the correlation between imaginary roots (of a quadratic or other polynomial equation) and the graph of the equation? As in, how can one represent imaginary solutions graphically (and why does that work)? Answered by Harley Weston.

		From Krys: How do I simplify completely? ((4+i ) / (3+i )) - ((2-i ) / (5-i )) Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	The absolute value of imaginary and complex numbers		2006-12-11
		From Keith: i don't get how to find the absolute value of imaginary and complex numbers here is an examples from the text book the answers are given but they don't show the work so i can follow along just show me the work please and explain how it is done problem 3+4i Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.

		From Sirena: what is a "real" number Answered by Penny Nom.
	The square root of i		2002-03-14
		From Arlene: what is the square root of i, if i=x+yi? what is the square root of 1-i? i'm getting problems like these in which I do not understand. Answered by Harley Weston.
	eix = cosx + isinx		2001-10-10
		From Peter: Given: eix = cosx + isinx substitute -x for x to find e-ix, simplifying your answer use the given and part a to find an identity for cosx making no reference to trig functions find an identity for sinx . . Answered by Penny Nom.

		From Paul Fieldhouse: What is the result of raising i to the googol power? is there a rule or pattern to raising i by increasing powers of 10? Answered by Penny Nom.
	The square root of -1		2000-05-19
		From Gary: i am not a student i am just some one that heard something and i can't be sure on the answer...my ? is what is the square root of -1? i think it is -1 but not sure can you let me know please thank you Answered by Harley Weston.
	root(-1)* root(-1)		2000-03-20
		From Michael Moran: i squared = -1 but i squared = root(-1)* root(-1) = root( -1*-1) = root(1) = 1 -1 doesn't = 1 can you help me with my question Answered by Claude Tardif.
	Complex numbers/polar coordinates		1999-03-25
		From Kate Cegelis: What is the relationship between complex numbers and polar coordinates? Answered by Harley Weston.
	Complex numbers and the quadratic formula		1998-12-25
		From Richard Peter: My age is 16, and my name is Richard. My question relates to the topic complex numbers & the quadratic formula. I would like to know how to solve quadratic equations in which the discriminant is less than 0 (i.e. we get two complex solutions to the quadratic) 3x2+2x+5 = 0 and how mathematicians like euler contributed to this field. If it would be possible I would also like to know how this type of quadratic equations can be graphed? Answered by Harley Weston.
