Complex Numbers and Their Properties

The video tutorial addresses question number 55, which involves simplifying an expression with complex numbers. The instructor begins by factoring out terms from the expression, both in the numerator and the denominator. After factoring, the instructor demonstrates how certain terms cancel out, leading to a simplified expression. The final calculation shows that the expression equals negative one, and the correct answer is option B. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to ask questions and a promise to see them in the next video.

What is the value of 'i' in complex numbers?

• The cube root of -1

• The square root of -1

• The square root of 1

• The square root of 0

What is the first step in simplifying the given expression?

• Factoring out 'i' from the numerator

• Dividing by 'i'

• Multiplying by 'i'

• Adding 'i' to both sides

What expression do we get after factoring 'i' from the numerator?

• i(1 + i + i^2)
