Complex Numbers: Operations, Complex Conjugates, and the Linear Factorization Theorem
Description
In getting through algebra, we never talked about complex numbers, but they are important so let's discuss them now! These are numbers with a real component and an imaginary component, so we first have to understand what i means, in a mathematical context. It's the square root of negative one. Then we need to learn how to do arithmetic with these expressions, and finally we can understand how we get answers in this form when using the quadratic formula but with a negative discriminant. Much to discuss, check this out!
