My Imaginary Friend, Part 1: Synchronous

By: Michell Eike | 70 minutes | Introduction to & Simplifying Imaginary Numbers For this lesson, students need to know how to simplify the square root of a whole number and know the product of powers and power of a power properties of exponents (ex. `x^{11}=x^{8}\cdot x^{3}` or `x^{8}=\left(x^{2}\right)^{4}` ). In this lesson, students will be introduced to imaginary numbers and their history. Students will learn how to simplify the square root of a negative number and how to simplify `i` to a power.
