Imaginary & Complex Numbers Obj: Simplify expressions with imaginary numbers; re-write radicals as complex expressions. Why do imaginary numbers exists and how do you add/subtract/multiply/divide imaginary numbers?
3
What do we need imaginary numbers? Allows us to make calculations that otherwise would not be possible (ex. Electric circuits)
