Thank you for this concept of Phase Shift! We use imaginary numbers to explain the new energy we discovered. It is negative entropic and therefore not from here or the law of entropy would not work. It has the properties to act at a distance, pass through matter like magnetic energy and create structure.
Hello everyone, the square root of -1 is not i or -i, but i. Only i. The following applies: √(x²) = |x| This means: The result of a square root is always positive or zero, more precisely: an absolute number. This also applies to complex numbers. In particular, the result of a (principal) square root is not identical to the solutions (“roots”) of a quadratic equation. Best regards Marcus 😎
The thumbnail, and the “technically” at 10:58, are technically wrong. √-1 is i, not -i. The “square root” operation has only one output. Now if you’re solving the equation x²=-1 then there are two answers, but that’s different.
The square root is a function, when I ask for the n-th root of any complex number z, you are not solving x^n = z. Instead, we apply the *function* f(z) = z^1/n which corresponds to a unique value, the principal root, therefore sqrt(-1) = i. On the other hand, the solution of x^2 = -1 is ±i
I love this video not knowing the number line explanation for multiplying with negative numbers has been bugging me for a while! I didn't know that I would learn this while randomly clicking on a video about imaginary numbers.
Square Root of 9 is not -3. By Pythagoras Square roots represents the. Longest distance on a right angle...distance as in absolute values cannot be negative.
Something is bothering me. I see that i * i = -1. But, could it also be +1 as well? I really like your comment on it. This is how I came up with +1 as an alternate answer. See if you agree. Let i = Sqrt of -1. Then Sqrt (-1 ) * Sqrt ( -1) = Sqrt (mag 1 phase 180 * mag 1 phase 180). Then it is equal to Sqrt of (mag 1 * phase 360), which is equal to mag 1 phase 360/2 = mag 1 phase 180. This gives one answer, -1. I understand that. Since two -1s are under the Sqrt, it should have two possible answers. Correct? The other answer should be +1 as well. Correct? Because, adding one more phase cycle to 360, which makes 720 and then dividing it by 2 gives back to 360, which is +1. I would like your reply back please. Thanks.
Nope. We need to be able to treat f(x)=√x as a function. So √9 can't have two answers, because that's not how functions work. The symbol "√9" means "What positive number can you square to get 9?" I promise that you will find exactly 0 algebra books in which the graph of f(x)=√x includes both the points (9,3) and (9,-3), which is what would have to happen if √9=±3. It doesn't. √9=3. Only (9,3) is on that graph. The domain of that function is non-negative real numbers. √(-1) isn't well-defined, because -1 isn't in the domain of the function. Yes, of course there are two different numbers whose squares are both 9, and there are two different numbers whose squares are both -1. But saying that √9 has two answers is an abuse of the √ notation.
I don't think the video is _as_ bad as you make it out to be here. Yes, typically, we use the radical to represent the principal square root. It's best to stick to that convention, but it is simply a convention, not some deep truth. Also, there's a perfectly reasonable way to define a principal square root function on the complex plane, so √(-1) could be perfectly well-defined, depending on how you define things.
sqrt(9) = 3; by definition the square root is only the positive solution of x^2=9. On the other hand the equation x^2=9 has got two solutions: sqrt(9) and -sqrt(9), often written as ±sqrt(9). If sqrt(9) took also the negative value, the ± sign would be redundant.
If maths is the framework / skeleton behind the visible world, does this progression on from a linear 0,1,2,3,4 etc hint at the existence of another dimension that we can't see?
Professor, but square root of 9 is equal to l3l = 3. How square root of 9 can be equal to -3? For me this is like if 3 = -3. Thanks for the excellent video.
There are two roots (or correct answers) to the square root of 9, that's why sqrt(9)= +/- 3. Think about the quadratic curve, as long as it opens past though the x-axis, you will always have two points that touch the x-axis (or two real answers). If you rephrase your question to y=x^2 - 9, and try to solve where y=0, you will have two solutions to x. I'm not a professor, but thanks for the acknowledgement :)
@@SciencenmeThe radical sign indicates the non-negative value only, as it's a function -- the principal square root. You would need "plus or minus" on both sides of the equation to have a true statement.

By some definitions of the square root the square root of 9 would be ±3. However, roots of positive real numbers have been defined as positive. For example solving the radical equation (x+4)^(1/2) = x-8 by squaring both sides gives rise to a quadratic equation with two solutions x1=12 and x2 = 5. When inserting the solution x2 = 5 into the original radical equation the right hand side equals -3 and the left hand side equals square root of 9. If you say that square root of 9 equals ±3, x2 = 5 would also be a solution. This, however, is not the case. Square root of 9 is defined as +3. You can solve the original radical equation for example with wolframalpha and you will find that there is no solution x2 = 5 the reason being that square root of nine does not equal -3. The square root of -1 usually is taken as +i, but there is no clear cut definition as is the case for square root of 9. In this case you are definitely leaving the realm of real calculus and things turn murky. For exampla the square root of 3 - 4i can be taken as ±(2 - i).

@@Sciencenme hi, i have a question... when you were explaining multiplication with the adding of angles, you said something like even an angle of 1080° will end up being positive since it equals 3 full rotations or a phase shift of zero at the end. my question is, wouldnt all real numbers have an angle of either 0° or 180°?? and if thats the case, when would you ever come across an angle greater than 180°? like the 1080°...the only time i can think of is multiplying 2 or more numbers together with at least two negative numbers involved? am i way off or ? i guess what im asking is like what even is 2 with an angle of 720°? i know its the same as just 2 with an angle of 0° ...so if 0° and 180° are the only angles a real number can truly have, are these larger angles only there to be divided by 180 to find out how many rotations its going to make to figure out if its going to be positive or negative??
@@Sciencenme also, i was playing with my calculator and found out that -2 squared is -4 not 4 like i thought -2 times -2 should be.. then i also found that (-2)squared is the 4 i was looking for. do you have a simple answer for why this is? sorry to keep bugging you.
@@snarevox the point is, if you limit your output range to 0°~360°, you might miss out on other valid answers. Two waves are in-phase if they are shifted 0° or 360° from each other; however there are infinite possible solutions including 720°, 1080°, but also -360°. In certain applications, other possible answers should be factored in, otherwise erratic things may happen. It's kind of like testing software code, if you're into that.
@@snarevox i cannot account for all calculators, but scientific calculators have two minus buttons - one is subtract, and the other is 'negative'. If the IC for the calculator has been programmed correctly the 'negative' should be associated with the value typed in e.g. "(-2)" as opposed to "-(2)"
@@Sciencenme Sorry, I did not understand you. My statement was about i, not 1/i. Could you explain? I have just made a simple algebraic conclusion from your video. If sqrt(-1) = i and sqrt(-1) = -i then this also means that i = sqrt(-1) and i = -sqrt(-1) at the same time. Surprisingly, this is not contradictory and is the key point of the definition of i.
I thought you'd just say that math needed a symbol to equal the square root of -1. The same way pi was chosen to approximately equal 3.14. You really explained how the calculations worked out. Great video.
12:10 Probably should have looked up what the square root "symbol" means. sqrt(9) is *NOT* +/-3. It does NOT mean X^2=9 solve for x. That's why you say +/-sqrt(9) if you want +/-3 as the answer. Imagine making a video about math and not even having ever seen the quadratic equation. If this video's definition was correct, it wouldn't have +/-sqrt(...) it would just be sqrt(...)
√-1 is i, by convention, instead of -i. There is no point to debate on this convention. Come on. Furthermore, a single mathematical expression always gives one single value only.
there are no negative numbers; they only exist as differences between positive numbers. -c = a-b. b>a b-c = a a=a a-a=0 If there are no negative numbers, there are no square roots of negative numbers. i:= sqr(-1) i^2= sqr(-1)sqr(-1) = sqr[(-1)(-1)] = sqr(1^2) = 1 -1
This still doesn't explain it to me. Negatives don't have square roots. Creating another dimension on a number line doesn't actually solve it. That number line still has a positive and negative relationship. I can understand numbers being offset from the main number sequence in degrees of rotation, that's just a way to represent multiple dimensions on one number line. But changing the principles of mathematics to essentially ignore a negative I don't. Essentially all your doing is creating a way around acknowledging a negative. Why does this solution have its own rules? For instance an explanation I've seen for the square root of negative 8 is: -1×√4×√2 -1×2×√2 -2×√2 But -2×√2 is not only not a number times itself, it also doesn't equal 8, let alone -8

But -2×√2 is not only not a number times itself, it also doesn't equal 8, let alone -8
