minus-square@jacksilverlinkEnglish6•5 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•5 months agoThey said x=10i^2, not 10i. Difference is it equals -10, and they chose not to simplify.
