√-1.  the i represents an imaginary number where you take the square root of -1.

Answer:

i = [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number is that one having two parts:

  1. One called real part, represented by a.
  2. And another called imaginary part, represented by bi, where b is also a real number plus i, as it was describe in the answer [tex]i = \sqrt{-1}[/tex].

Although  [tex]i =\sqrt{-1}[/tex], it is also [tex]i^{2} = -1[/tex], which has some interesting properties like [tex]i^{3}[/tex] = [tex]i * i^{2}= i * -1 = -i [/tex] , and so on.

These numbers came along when it was necessary to take the squared root of negative numbers:

[tex]\sqrt{-4} = \sqrt{-1} * \sqrt{4} = 2i ; -2i[/tex] .
