Multiplying and Simplifying Radicals

The video tutorial explains how to multiply terms involving imaginary numbers. It begins by identifying the need to use imaginary numbers due to the presence of a negative under a radical. The instructor demonstrates factoring out the negative as an imaginary unit 'i', simplifying radicals, and then multiplying the numbers, radicals, and imaginary units. The process concludes with a final calculation, showing how to simplify and arrive at the correct answer using imaginary numbers.

What is the primary challenge when multiplying terms with negative radicals?
