Can ##sqrt(-i)## be expressed as a complex number z = x + iy with unitary power?
The complex representation of the square root of negative i with unitary power is (1 + i) / sqrt(2).
Representing the square root of negative i with unitary power allows for easier calculation and manipulation of complex numbers, as it simplifies the expression to a single complex number.
The complex representation is derived by taking the square root of the complex number -i and raising it to the power of 1/2, resulting in the expression (-i)^(1/2) which simplifies to (1 + i) / sqrt(2).
Yes, the representation is unique as it follows the laws of complex numbers and there is only one value that satisfies the equation x^2 = -i.
The complex representation is used in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and mathematics, to solve complex equations and model real-world phenomena. It is also essential in understanding and analyzing complex electrical circuits and signals.
