Complex Numbers and Their Operations

This video tutorial explains how to add and subtract expressions using complex numbers. It begins with an introduction to complex numbers, defining them in the form of 'a + bi', where 'a' is a real number and 'bi' is an imaginary number. The tutorial then demonstrates how to simplify square roots of negative numbers using the imaginary unit 'i', which is the square root of -1. Examples are provided to illustrate the process of simplifying square roots and performing arithmetic operations with complex numbers, including subtraction and addition. The video concludes with a summary of the examples and encourages further practice.
