minus-square fri ( @fri@compuverse.uk ) linkfedilink27•1 year agoWait, what happened in the second to last bullet point? You can’t convert a power like that when subtracting (you can when dividing). It’s like you’d convert “2^4 - 2” into “2^(4-1)”, which gives two different results (14 vs 8).
minus-square usrtrv ( @usrtrv@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink11•edit-21 year agoFor those curious, I threw 🥤^i - 🥤 = 3 into wolfram. 🥤 ≈ -2.97983 + 0.0388569 i… or 🥤 ≈ 0.27972 - 0.748461 i…
