Algebra 2 - Simplifying the division of a real number by the imaginary unit i, -17/i

The video tutorial reviews basic operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and discusses the properties of monomials. It explains why expressions with imaginary numbers in the denominator are not considered simplified and demonstrates how to simplify them by moving the imaginary unit to the numerator. The concept of equivalent fractions is introduced to support this explanation. Finally, the tutorial shows how to simplify expressions involving imaginary units, emphasizing the role of i squared.

What is the result of multiplying -17 by I, and how does it relate to simplifying the expression?

What does I squared equal, and how does this affect the simplification of expressions involving I?
