This lesson covers complex numbers. Students learn that a complex number is the sum or difference of a real number and an imaginary number and can be written in a + bi form. For example, 1 + 2i and -- 5 - i root 7 are complex numbers. Students then learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide complex numbers that do not contain radicals, such as (5 + 3i) / (6 - 2i). To divide (5 + 3i) / (6 - 2i), the first step is to multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator, which is (6 + 2i), then FOIL in both the numerator and denominator, and combine like terms.

Students learn that customary units can be converted to metric units and metric units can be converted to customary units using the following conversion factors: 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers 1 liter = 2.1 pints 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters and so on. Students are then asked to solve problems using these conversion factors such as 10 kilometers = ____ miles. Students are also asked to determine which customary unit of measurement and which metric unit of measurement are used to measure a given object. For example milk in a bottle would be measured in gallons (customary) or in liters (metric). Video is good quality and good for all students as a review or initial learning of the topic.
