Tutorial - Graphing complex numbers ex 2, 1 - 4i

The video tutorial explains how to graph complex numbers on a complex plane. It begins with an introduction to the complex plane, detailing the real and imaginary axes. The instructor then describes the form of complex numbers as a+bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'bi' is the imaginary part. The tutorial proceeds to demonstrate how to plot a complex number by using the distances on the real and imaginary axes, specifically plotting the complex number 1-4i. The video concludes by summarizing the process of combining the real and imaginary components to identify the complex number point.
