You should be using absolute values for the equation. That just isn't usually specified because it only matters if you're using imaginary unit lengths for the sides

so this is the power of complex numbers...

It should be [math]a ^ \dagger a + b ^ \dagger b = c ^ \dagger c[/math]

>>9335650
this image is false

clearly the length is real, not imaginary

>>9335788
Of course, the square root of -1 isn't real in our number system, so we just use i as a substitute for a real number.

So, in theory, this image is true.

>>9335650
i=1
o=√2

>>9335795
wrong

>>9335801

i = √-1
i^2 = -1
1 + -1 = 0

>>9335803
Explain.

>>9335809
the length of i is 1.

>>9335829

You are literally retarded.

>>9335845
i is assumed used as a variable, not an imaginary number, in the example triangle
Of sides 1, 0(zero), i. in this example, the triangle depiction is actually an illusion, and the result is a line with length 1 having the same distance as a line with length i, so i=1

If the triangle sides were instead 1, o(variable), i ; the solution is not 1.

>>9335845
But that is literally what the retarded picture says

>>9335875
0 and O, my nigger.

i2 = 12 + 02
-1 = 1

FALSE!!

>>9335650

>>9336203
Deplorable...

how do you have a length of zero?

>>9335650
you're not using a proper metric. if you want to use imaginary numbers, you need to come up with a new definition of distance that satisfies the definition of a metric.

good thread

kek

Can we not?
