Hello, I like to ask you something. I learned that :
For all non-negative real numbers x and y: sqrt(x*y)=sqrt(x)*sqrt(y) . In this video you got sqrt(-9)=sqrt(9*(-1))=sqrt(9)*sqrt(-1). The latter equation( sqrt(9*(-1))=sqrt(9)*sqrt(-1) ) does not comply to the rule, because -1 is negative. So I think that is incorrect.(like the -1=1 example) This is a happy example where the flaw is hidden. Please respond to me at fanusergiu@yahoo.com and correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you
