This should have been:
In[17]:= Reduce[2*y*I*Sqrt[x] + 2*(y - y*I*Sqrt[x]) == 0,
{x, y}, Reals]
During evaluation of In[17]:= Reduce::nddc:The system 2 \[ImaginaryI]
Sqrt[x] y+2 (y-\[ImaginaryI] Sqrt[x] y)\[LongEqual]0 contains a
nonreal constant 2 \[ImaginaryI]. With the domain \
[DoubleStruckCapitalR] specified, all constants should be real. >>
Out[17]= Reduce[2*I*Sqrt[x]*y + 2*(y - I*Sqrt[x]*y) == 0,
{x, y}, Reals]
but it other than that it does not change anything. Note that:
Reduce[Simplify[2*y*I*Sqrt[x] + 2*(y - y*I*Sqrt[x]) == 0], {x, y},
Reals]
y==0
What I really mean tto say is: wouldn't it be a litte better to first
automatically apply Simplify in such situation to see if the I's could
be got rid of?
