supple anvil Whats the relationship and difference between variables I and X

depends on the context

#

tidal shard depends on the context

i was doing like a pretest and there was a question w “x” variable and the answer choices were all w “i”

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

i would need a bit more context

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

oh

#

well

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

like the overall subject, what the question was

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

then can u explain what i was

#

like what “i” variable was

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:06 AM

#

variables are, in general, variable

#

so they can change alot depending on the context and what the accepted defintion of the variable is

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:07 AM

#

oh wait it ain’t no variable

#

“imaginary unit”

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

oh youre talking about i = sqrt(-1)

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

yeah that thing

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:08 AM

#

'i' is defined to be the square root of -1

#

its an imaginary number, so its not part of the real numbers

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

that’s it?

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

thats all i is yea

#

but it shows up alot in math

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:09 AM

#

can u show like an example or something

#

or like a problem that it would be in

tidal shard May 17, 2023, 4:10 AM

#

#

the complex plane

#

with points plotted on it

supple anvil May 17, 2023, 4:11 AM

#
