Introduction to imaginary numbers
Have you ever run into a situation where you want to find the square root of a negative number, but the calculator gives you nothing but a big error? Well, we will explore the meaning of this error from a different perspective. In this section, we will introduce the notion of imaginary numbers, and how to simplify them.
Basic Concepts: Converting radicals to mixed radicals, Product rule of exponents, Power of a product rule
Related Concepts: Imaginary zeros of polynomials
