Complex Numbers and Their Operations

The video tutorial covers complex numbers, including their definition, graphing, and basic operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication. It then focuses on dividing complex numbers using the concept of conjugates. The tutorial explains how multiplying a complex number by its conjugate results in a real number, and demonstrates this with an example. The video encourages viewers to practice with different complex numbers to gain a better understanding.

What is the first step in dividing two complex numbers?
