-1 = 1 ??
[tex]-1 = -1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{1}=\frac{1}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \sqrt{\frac{-1}{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{-1}}{\sqrt{1}}=\frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{-1}}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{i}{1}=\frac{1}{i}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow i^2=1[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow -1 = 1[/tex]
As you can see, -1 clearly equals 1.
