I agree, but in some instances j is equal to the square root of negative one. If this is the case then j times j equals -1. Then j^4 = 1, and j^8 also equals 1. Therefore j^9 + k could equal j + k. Not sure of the context . Something to think about.

We write J raised to the 9th power as J9 (which means J multiplied by J a total of nine times). "Sum" means "add them" so J9 + K

Couldn't you add J9 +k?

"Raise J to the 9th power, then find the sum of the result and K" is still J^9 + K ... If it also equals some other expression, say K+1, we would "think about" that as a special case, that's all.08/09/20
