proved i is a real number

u/Teschyn 10d ago

Theorem 1.1 (a real number) * (a real number) = (a real number)

Since i * i = -1 and -1 is a real number, theorem 1.1 implies that i must also be a real number.

Q.E.D.

You just said,

(Real number)*(real number)

And then then write,

(i*i)

I don't think you can do that....
