    Precalculus on Khan Academy: You may think that precalculus is simply the course you take before calculus. You would be right, of course, but that definition doesn't mean anything unless you have some knowledge of what calculus is. Let's keep it simple, shall we? Calculus is a conceptual framework which provides systematic techniques for solving problems. These problems are appropriately applicable to analytic geometry and algebra. Therefore....precalculus gives you the background for the mathematical concepts, problems, issues and techniques that appear in calculus, including trigonometry, functions, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and others. There you have it ladies and gentlemen....an introduction to precalculus!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.
    For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

      Lol I'm in 7th grade, so I think I'm supposed to be in prealgebra, but that's kinda a joke to me, so Precalculus is my level. I'm also doing well practicing for AMC10 papers, although I can't do 'em 'cause I live overseas.

    because 3i x 5i = 15i squared

    so 15 x -1 = -15

    I always had a feeling math books had their flaws. My precalc book literally tells me that something like (5-7i)(5+7i) would be 5^2 - 7^2 but only in the denominator. It makes no sense

      The book is trying to teach you something of a shortcut, which is useful, but they don't explain how you get there like Khan Academy does, which is why it makes no sense. They've sort of left out parts and have said to you "Go figure" lol

  • @EXHellfire

    I'm doing a programming assignment, basically gotta code a complex number calculator.
    Abstracting the steps tells me to handle the top part the same way I handled regular multiplication, and to find the denominator for the real and imaginary parts, to do real^2 + imaginary +2 using the conjugate?
    That's what 74 is, 49 + 25, and the real part was 7, the imaginary 5. It would be minus the imaginary if working with the original complex number although squaring it makes the sign stop being important it seems..
    I guess I'll code it this way and then test if it gets the same results as an online calculator.

I just instantly calm down when I hear your voice because there are so many sketchy videos out there with random teachers trying to make money or whatever and who don't actually know what they are doing, so it's nice to actually learn something (especially if your teachers are useless).

    5i x 5i should be 25i squared right? why it just 25 on the video?

    • @FantasticHermitCrab
      @FantasticHermitCrab 6 лет назад

      That's because i squared is equal to -1, due to the definition of the imaginary number itself being equal to the square root of -1.
      Therefore it becomes 25 * (i)^2, which is then the same as 25*(-1) or -25 as in the video. :-)

    • @andrewparkinson4685
      @andrewparkinson4685 5 лет назад

      You're thinking of normal variables, "i" is a set number i=sqrt(-1) so think of it as 5(sqrt(-1))^2 which would equal -25. I think you are looking for dividing binomials.

      @yoitsbeecher 3 года назад

      i^2=-1 so -1 x 15=-15

    • @octavylon9008
      @octavylon9008 3 года назад

      Dont think of i as a normal variable, think of it as the square root of -1
      sqrt(a) × sqrt(a) = a
      so i² = -1
      So 3i*5i = 15i² = -15
