Imaginary Paradox of Math
This is for those of you that learned imaginary numbers
Note: roots are written as to the power of a fraction, due to the lack of square root sign
i = -1
1/2
Yes, that's what i is, let's creat the paradox!
i
2 = -1
i
4 = 1
i = 1
1/4
i = + or - 1
So is i real or not?
Help!!!

In Math class, I discovered a weird math question that takes a sharp brain to solve. Unlike most math questions, it does not require you to solve an equation, but to disprove a series of equations. The equation and the procedures are as below:
a = b
Square both sides of the equal sign
a
2 = b
2
Add ¡°-ab¡± to both sides
a
2 - ab = b
2 - ab
Simplify so that (a ¨C b) becomes a factor on both sides
a (a- b) = -b(a - b)
Divide both sides by (a ¨C b)
a = -b
???
Disprove this in the comment box please.
