minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•4 months agoNo definition what values are suitable for x.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish20•4 months agox has to be -10, right? Or am I missing something?
minus-square@jacksilverlinkEnglish6•4 months agoYeah, I think the point is that the person answering was wrong/over complicating. If x=10i, then x^2 would be -100 (or potentially -10 depending on what you think the ^2 is applied to).
minus-square@KhanzaratelinkEnglish22•4 months agoThey said x=10i^2, not 10i. Difference is it equals -10, and they chose not to simplify.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoThey’re correct, it’s just overcomplicated as fuck in ways that are correct but completely irrelevant to the question.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoDepends on what are the allowed values for x are. Real numbers, complexe numbers, binary or I made up my own numbers ;)

The answer in the meme (10i^2) is -10
