01
Introduction to Complex Numbers
Frames the lesson goals for complex numbers on the Digital SAT and reminds students of required prior skills: laws of exponents, simplifying square roots, and plotting points on a coordinate plane.
02
The Imaginary Unit and Its Powers
Introduces the imaginary unit i (√−1) and explores its cyclic powers, building on exponent rules from the earlier Introduction to Exponents and Powers lesson.
03
Standard Form and Equality of Complex Numbers
Defines complex numbers in a + bi form and shows how to test equality by matching real and imaginary parts, refreshing combining-like-terms skills from Simplifying Algebraic Expressions.
04
Addition and Subtraction of Complex Numbers
Teaches how to add and subtract complex numbers by separately combining real and imaginary parts, extending previous practice with combining like terms.
05
Multiplication of Complex Numbers
Uses the distributive property and FOIL to multiply complex numbers while applying i² = −1, building on the earlier Multiplication of Expressions lesson.
06
Complex Conjugates and Division
Introduces complex conjugates and demonstrates division by rationalising denominators, refreshing rationalising-radicals techniques from Roots and Radicals.
07
Magnitude (Modulus) and Argument
Explains how to calculate the modulus and argument of a complex number, connecting to the Pythagorean theorem from Properties of Triangles and inverse-trigonometric ideas.
08
Graphing Complex Numbers on the Complex Plane
Shows how to plot complex numbers as points and vectors in the complex plane, extending coordinate-geometry graphing skills.
09
Key Takeaways and Targeted Practice
Synthesises all complex-number operations into SAT-style mini-quiz problems that reinforce each learning objective.
