Did you know $\sqrt{-1}=i$ is misleading?
The square root of complex number has many values with two distinct values. $\sqrt{-1}$ has two distinct values $i$ and $-i$. This fact can be verified by taking square of $i$ and $-i$, which give the same answer $-1$. It is different to say $i^2=-1$ and $\sqrt{-1}=i$ unless we define $\sqrt{-1}$ as principal square root of complex number. (see detail answer here)
