Do:
A2.1.1.1.1 -- EssentialSimplify/write square roots in terms of i (e.g., √‐24 = 2i√6).
A2.1.1.1.2 -- EssentialSimplify/evaluate expressions involving powers of i (e.g., i 6 + i 3 = ‐1 – i).
A2.1.1.2.1 -- EssentialAdd and subtract complex numbers (e.g., (7 – 3i) – (2 + i) = 5 – 4i).
A2.1.1.2.2 -- EssentialMultiply and divide complex numbers (e.g., (7 – 3i)(2 + i) = 17 + i).
