Understanding Complex Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to express numbers as complex numbers in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the imaginary unit. It covers the definition of complex numbers, the distinction between real and imaginary parts, and provides examples of converting real and imaginary numbers into complex form. The tutorial also demonstrates simplifying complex numbers involving square roots, using prime factorization to identify perfect square factors.
