Tutorial - Rewriting a number using the imaginary number i ex 9, -4 root(-80)

The video tutorial demonstrates how to simplify a complex radical expression involving negative numbers and imaginary terms. It begins by rewriting the negative radical using the imaginary unit 'I'. The instructor then explains the process of simplifying the square root of 80 using a factor tree, breaking it down into its linear factors. The final expression is simplified to -16 times the square root of 5 times 'I'. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to achieve the simplified expression.
