They’re correct, it’s just overcomplicated as fuck in ways that are correct but completely irrelevant to the question.

jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 month 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).

They said x=10i^2, not 10i. Difference is it equals -10, and they chose not to simplify.
