Here's a "proof," using nothing but radicals, that  $-1\ =\ 1$ :

 $-1\ =\sqrt{-1}\cdot\sqrt{-1}\ =\ \sqrt{-1\cdot-1}$   
 $=\sqrt{1\ }=\ 1$  

Which step contains the mistake? Explain why. Consider the first equals sign to be the first step, the second equals sign to be the second step, and so on.
