Hey, finally someone I can talk with...

Yay!

but removing the i in your last function...

Well, what I meant by that was something a bit different that the way you interpreted it. Take, for example, x = 23. This yields the same result as -x = -23: both sides are multiplied by i^2, therefore you can divide and simplify.

You're right, f(x) = i * sqrt(2) is the same thing as f(x) = sqrt(2) * i. I just put one in standard form.
