Operations with Complex Numbers

This video tutorial covers operations with complex numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It explains how to handle the real and imaginary parts separately and introduces the concept of complex conjugates. The video also discusses powers of the imaginary unit 'i' and provides examples to illustrate each operation. A graphing calculator is used to verify results, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of complex number operations.
