Complex Numbers: Operations and Properties

The video tutorial explains how to multiply a complex number by another complex number, specifically negative one minus i. It covers the concepts of rotating by the argument and scaling by the modulus of the complex number. The tutorial walks through the calculation of the argument and modulus, and applies these to determine the product's position on the complex plane. The final section concludes with the calculation of the product's modulus and its position, identifying the correct choice from given options.
