​Notes for “Barron’s SAT Premium Study Guide Chapter 6-T: Imaginary and Complex Numbers” Video

6/30/2020

0 Comments

 
SPECIAL NEW CUSTOMER OFFER: Free 30-minute diagnostic session. Limited spots. 415-623-4251.
Here's the video! youtu.be/kfNv407Jhno

What We’re Covering Here.
  1. The exercises at the end of Chapter 6-T: Imaginary and Complex Numbers, in Barron’s SAT Premium Study Guide (30th Edition of the Barron’s SAT study guide) – pp. 695.
  2. A few other relevant “fun facts.”
  3. Whatever else comes up as I’m recording this.
  4. If you like this video, please don’t forget to give this a “thumbs up,” subscribe to my channel, and click on the little bell in the top right corner for notifications.


Who’d Like This:
  1. High school and college students studying for the SAT and ACT, especially those using the Barron’s SAT Premium Study Guide (30th Edition of the Barron’s SAT study guide) or the 28th or 29th editions of the same guide. Most of these math problems stay the same, but they may have been moved around from earlier editions, so I can’t guarantee the best results for earlier editions. If you’re using an edition earlier than Barron’s New SAT (made for the SATs used since 2016), you really should buy a new Barron’s book.
