Grade 11 Questions on "Imaginary" Number graphing

Hi people!

This site I am going to post contains a LOT of information on Complex numbers. Complex numbers are in the form of a real and a complex number (2+2i). "i" stands for the square root of -1. So (2+2i) is like saying (2+sqrt(-4)) or (2+2*sqrt(-1))... Sorry I don't have the symbols for radicals on this blog site. Check it out. Use Wikipedia if necessary!
