Algebra 2 - Learn how to subtract complex numbers, (3 - 4i) - (2 + 6i)

The video tutorial introduces the concept of imaginary and complex numbers, explaining that 'i' represents the square root of negative one, known as the imaginary unit. It further elaborates on complex numbers, which are expressed as a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'bi' is the imaginary part. The tutorial covers operations such as addition and subtraction of complex numbers, emphasizing the importance of combining real parts with real parts and imaginary parts with imaginary parts. The video concludes with examples to illustrate these concepts.

What does the imaginary unit 'i' represent?

• A complex number

• The square root of 1

• The square root of negative 1

• A real number

In a complex number a + bi, what does 'a' represent?

• The imaginary part

• The real part

• The negative part

• The complex part

When adding complex numbers, which parts should be combined?

• None of the above

• Imaginary with real

• Real with imaginary

• Real with real and imaginary with imaginary

What is the result of subtracting (3 - 4i) from (2 + 6i)?

• 1 + 2i

• 1 - 10i

• 5 + 2i

• 5 - 10i

How can you express a complex number in the form a + bi when subtracting?

• a + a negative bi

• a + bi

• a - bi

• a - a negative bi
