Writing complex number in standard form

The video tutorial explains how to solve a complex number problem by converting it into standard form. It begins with an introduction to the problem and the concept of standard form, which is expressed as a + BI, where A is the real part and BI is the imaginary part. The instructor identifies the real and imaginary components of the given expression and uses the definition of I, the square root of -1, to simplify the expression. Finally, the expression is rewritten in standard form, demonstrating the process of solving complex number problems.
