Graphing and Absolute Value of Complex Numbers

Conjugating in the math classroom — and we're not talking verbs! The seventh lesson in a series of 32 introduces the class to the building blocks of complex number division. During the instruction, the class learns to find the...

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second instructional activity on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the...

Help the class find a better way. Pupils recall finding nth roots or a complex number in polar form from a previous module to find the square root of a complex number. Using the second installment in a series of 23, scholars discover it...

In this video, a complex number is defined and graphed on the complex plane. Sal also shows how to add, subtract, and multiply two complex numbers. He shows how to divide two complex numbers but runs out of time and continues in the...

This video continues looking at dividing complex numbers by looking at the conjugate of a complex number. The instructor then uses the conjugate to rationalize the denominator of a rational expression with a complex number in the...

Sal solves the problem x^3 = 1 for all real and complex roots using the exponential form of the complex number. He shows how the roots found in the exponential form are the same as those in a more traditional form of a complex number...

This video gives an excellent overview of the different representations of a complex number. First, Sal reviews a pictorial representation of a complex number as an Argand diagram, then shows how to find the modulus and the argument of a...
