Hate to be that guy but I need the extra credit! Reddit complex numbers r/theydidthemath
Here's a very classic false proof based on the idea that sqrt(ab) vs sqrt(a)*sqrt(b) if a and b are both negative. The math mistake is that sqrt(-1*-1) is not the same as sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1) because we are not allowed to do so. I know I am like 3 days late but I hope the the person who posted this problem has gotten his/her extra credit already!

The solution to "i=1" • Be careful with i^(4/4)
