10. -In the set of real numbers, negative numbers do
not have square roots.
-Imaginary numbers were invented so that negative
numbers would have square roots and certain
equations would have solutions.
-These numbers were devised using an imaginary
unit named i.

11. -The imaginary numbers consist of all numbers bi,
where b is a real number and i is the imaginary unit,
with the property that i² = -1.
-The first four powers of i establish an important
pattern and should be memorized.
