The square root of 1 -1 is called The imaginary unit or unit imaginary number . The term "imaginary" is used because there is no real number having a negative square.

This imaginary unit , denoted as i i , is a mathematical concept which extends the real number system R to the complex number system C , which in turn provides at least one root for every polynomial P ( x ) P(x)

Note : The imaginary unit's core property is that i 2 = 1 { i^2 = -1 }
