Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
We have 6 times 6 is, or sorry, 6 times 7, which is 42. And then we have 6 times 5i, which is 30i plus 30i. And then we have 3i times 7. So that's plus 21i. And then finally, we have 3i times 5i. 3 times 5 is 15. But we have i times i, or i squared, which is negative 1.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
So that's plus 21i. And then finally, we have 3i times 5i. 3 times 5 is 15. But we have i times i, or i squared, which is negative 1. So it would be 15 times negative 1, or minus 15. So that's our numerator. And then our denominator is going to be, well, we have a plus b times a minus b.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
But we have i times i, or i squared, which is negative 1. So it would be 15 times negative 1, or minus 15. So that's our numerator.

And then our denominator is going to be, well, we have a plus b times a minus b. You could think of it that way, or you could just do what we just did up here. Actually, let's just do what we did up here so you don't have to remember that difference of squares pattern and all of that. 7 times 7 is 49. Let's think of it...
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
7 times 7 is 49. Let's think of it in a foil way if that is helpful for you. So first, we did the 7 times a 7, then we could do the outer terms. 7 times 5i is plus 35i. Then we could do the inner terms. Negative 5i times 7 is minus 35i. These two are going to cancel out.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
7 times 5i is plus 35i. Then we could do the inner terms. Negative 5i times 7 is minus 35i. These two are going to cancel out. And then negative 5i times 5i is negative 25i squared. Negative 25i squared is the same thing as negative 25 times negative 1. So that is plus 25.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
These two are going to cancel out. And then negative 5i times 5i is negative 25i squared. Negative 25i squared is the same thing as negative 25 times negative 1. So that is plus 25. Now let's simplify them. These guys down here cancel out. Our denominator simplifies to 49 plus 25 is 74.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
So that is plus 25. Now let's simplify them. These guys down here cancel out. Our denominator simplifies to 49 plus 25 is 74. And our numerator, we can add the real parts. So we have a 42 and a negative 15. So let's see, 42 minus 5 would be 37, minus another 10 would be 27.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
Our denominator simplifies to 49 plus 25 is 74. And our numerator, we can add the real parts. So we have a 42 and a negative 15. So let's see, 42 minus 5 would be 37, minus another 10 would be 27. So that is 27. And then we're going to add our 30i plus the 21i. So 30 of something plus 21 of that same something is going...
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
So let's see, 42 minus 5 would be 37, minus another 10 would be 27. So that is 27. And then we're going to add our 30i plus the 21i. So 30 of something plus 21 of that same something is going to be 51 of that something. In this case, that something is the imaginary unit. It is i. Let me do that in magenta.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
So 30 of something plus 21 of that same something is going to be 51 of that something. In this case, that something is the imaginary unit. It is i. Let me do that in magenta. I guess that's orange. So this is plus 51i. And I want to write it in the form of a plus bi, the traditional complex number form.
Dividing complex numbers Imaginary and complex numbers Precalculus Khan Academy.mp3
Let me do that in magenta. I guess that's orange. So this is plus 51i. And I want to write it in the form of a plus bi, the traditional complex number form.

Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
So we just used our property, this little property that I presented to you, and let's see if it works out. So log base 2 of 8. 2 to what power is equal to 8? Well 2 to the third power is equal to 8, right? 2 to the third power is equal to 8. So this term right here, that equals 3, right? Log base 2 of 8 is equal to 3.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
Well 2 to the third power is equal to 8, right? 2 to the third power is equal to 8. So this term right here, that equals 3, right? Log base 2 of 8 is equal to 3. 2 to what power is equal to 32? Let's see, 2 to the fourth power is 16, 2 to the fifth power is 32. So this right here is 5, right?
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
Log base 2 of 8 is equal to 3. 2 to what power is equal to 32? Let's see, 2 to the fourth power is 16, 2 to the fifth power is 32. So this right here is 5, right? And 2 to the what power is equal to 256? Well, let's see. Well if you're a computer science major, you'll know that immediately.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
So this right here is 5, right? And 2 to the what power is equal to 256? Well, let's see. Well if you're a computer science major, you'll know that immediately. That a byte can have 256 values in it. So it's 2 to the eighth power. But if you don't know that, you could multiply it out yourself.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
Well if you're a computer science major, you'll know that immediately. That a byte can have 256 values in it. So it's 2 to the eighth power. But if you don't know that, you could multiply it out yourself. But this is 8. And I'm not doing it just because I knew that 3 plus 5 is equal to 8. I'm doing this independently.

But if you don't know that, you could multiply it out yourself. But this is 8. And I'm not doing it just because I knew that 3 plus 5 is equal to 8. I'm doing this independently. So this is equal to 8. But it does turn out that 3 plus 5 is equal to 8. This may seem like magic to you, or it may seem obvious.

I'm doing this independently. So this is equal to 8. But it does turn out that 3 plus 5 is equal to 8. This may seem like magic to you, or it may seem obvious. And for those of you who it might seem a little obvious, you're probably thinking, well, 2 to the third times 2 to the fifth is equal to 2 to the 3 plus 5, righ...

This may seem like magic to you, or it may seem obvious. And for those of you who it might seem a little obvious, you're probably thinking, well, 2 to the third times 2 to the fifth is equal to 2 to the 3 plus 5, right? This is just an exponent rule. What do they call this? The additive exponent? I don't know. I don't ...

What do they call this? The additive exponent? I don't know. I don't know the names of things. And that equals 2 to the eighth. And that's exactly what we did here, right? On this side, we had 2 to the third times 2 to the fifth, essentially.

But this should hopefully give you an intuition for why this property holds, right? Because when you multiply two numbers of the same base, two exponential expressions of the same base, you can add their exponents. Similarly, when you have the log of two numbers multiplied by each other, that's equivalent to the log of...

This is the same property. If you don't believe me, watch the proof videos. So let me show you another log property that's pretty much the same one. I almost view them the same. So this is log base b of a minus log base b of c is equal to log base b of a divided by c. That says a divided by c. And we can, once again, t...

I almost view them the same. So this is log base b of a minus log base b of c is equal to log base b of a divided by c. That says a divided by c. And we can, once again, try it out with some numbers. I use 2 a lot, just because 2 is an easy number to figure out the powers. But let's use a different number. Let's say lo...

But let's use a different number. Let's say log base 3 of 1 ninth minus log base 3 of 81. So this property tells us that this is the same thing as, well, I'm ending up with a big number. Log base 3 of 1 ninth divided by 81. So that's the same thing as 1 ninth times 1 over 81. I used two large numbers for my example. Bu...

Log base 3 of 1 ninth divided by 81. So that's the same thing as 1 ninth times 1 over 81. I used two large numbers for my example. But we'll move forward. So let's see. 9 times 8 is 720. Right?
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
But we'll move forward. So let's see. 9 times 8 is 720. Right? 9 times 8 is 720. So this is 1 over 729. So this is log base 3 over 1 over 729.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
Right? 9 times 8 is 720. So this is 1 over 729. So this is log base 3 over 1 over 729. So 3 to what power is equal to 1 ninth? Well, 3 squared is equal to 9, right? 3 squared is equal to 9.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
So this is log base 3 over 1 over 729. So 3 to what power is equal to 1 ninth? Well, 3 squared is equal to 9, right? 3 squared is equal to 9. So we know that if 3 squared is equal to 9, then we know that 3 to the negative 2 is equal to 1 ninth, right? The negative just inverts it. So this is equal to negative 2.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
3 squared is equal to 9. So we know that if 3 squared is equal to 9, then we know that 3 to the negative 2 is equal to 1 ninth, right? The negative just inverts it. So this is equal to negative 2. Right? And then minus 3 to what power is equal to 81? Let's see.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
So this is equal to negative 2. Right? And then minus 3 to what power is equal to 81? Let's see. 3 to the third power is 27. So 3 to the fourth power. So we have minus 2 minus 4 is equal to, well, we could do it a couple of ways.
Introduction to logarithm properties Logarithms Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
Let's see. 3 to the third power is 27. So 3 to the fourth power. So we have minus 2 minus 4 is equal to, well, we could do it a couple of ways. Minus 2 minus 4 is equal to minus 6. And now we just have to confirm that 3 to the minus 6 power is equal to 1 over 729. So my question is, 3 to the minus 6 power, is that equa...

So my question is, 3 to the minus 6 power, is that equal to 1 over 729? Well, that's the same thing as saying 3 to the 6th power is equal to 729, because that's all the negative exponent does, is inverts it. Let's see. We could multiply that out, but that should be the case. Because, well, we could look here, but let's...

We could multiply that out, but that should be the case. Because, well, we could look here, but let's see. 3 to the third power. This would be 3 to the third power times 3 to the third power is equal to 27 times 27. That looks pretty close. You can confirm it with a calculator if you don't believe me. Anyway, that's al...

Or another way to think about it is you can distribute this negative sign along all of those terms. That's essentially what we're about to do here. We're just adding the negative of this entire thing. We're adding the opposite of it. So this first part, I'm not going to change it. That's still just 16x plus 14. But now...

We're adding the opposite of it. So this first part, I'm not going to change it. That's still just 16x plus 14. But now I'm going to distribute the negative sign here. So negative 1 times 3x squared is negative 3x squared. Negative 1 times positive x is negative x, because that's positive 1x. Negative 1 times negative ...

Negative 1 times negative 9, remember you have to consider this negative right over there. That is part of the term. Negative 1 times negative 9 is positive 9. Negative times a negative is a positive. So then we have positive 9. And now we just have to combine like terms. So what's our highest degree term here?
Example 3 Subtracting polynomials Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
Negative times a negative is a positive. So then we have positive 9. And now we just have to combine like terms. So what's our highest degree term here? I like to write it in that order. We have only one x squared term, second degree term. We only have one of those, so let me write it over here.
