  1. Imaginary Numbers Background Info:When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is positive. (-1) * (-1) = 1 Therefore:You CANNOT multiply two negative REAL numbers and get a negative answer. That’s why mathematicians developed the IMAGINARY NUMBER called i i ∙i= -1

  2. Imaginary Numbers (con’t) Sincei2 = -1 then the square root of -1 must be i.

  3. How to use i

  4. PRACTICE using i
