Why is [(-1) ^(1/2)] ^3 not equal to [(-1) ^3] ^(1/2)?
Okay. And what about [(-1) ^3] ^(1/2)?
When you raise a negative number to an odd power, like 3, it remains negative. So, [-1^3] is equal to -1. Then, when you take the square root of -1, you still end up with "i". Therefore, [(-1^3)^(1/2)] is equal to "i".
