do you see where it sees sqrt((1-i)(1+i)+9)?
It should be (1+i)(1+i)
Why isn't it?

hi robertjford80! 
the complex inner product is defined with a conjugate on one side …
<a|b> = a*.b
(for real vectors, it makes no difference, so this isn't a different definition, it's the same as for real vectors
)
