I'm doing online homework, and the question is
\({-8, 4-4\sqrt{3}i, 4+4\sqrt{3}i}\)
I don't understand how the last 2 are correct, because i X i = -1, so \((4+4\sqrt{3}i ) * (4+4\sqrt{3}i )\) should be a real number, but \((4+4\sqrt{3}i ) * (4+4\sqrt{3}i ) * (4+4\sqrt{3}i )\)should be an imaginary number, correct?
The correct answers, verified by the system, are:Find all solutions of the equation. Check your solutions in the original equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
