standard_description: Extend polynomial identities to the complex numbers. For example, rewrite x^(2) + 4 as (x + 2i)(x – 2i).
problem_activity: Tram knows that
$$1\frac{1}{6}$$
is less than
$$1\frac{2}{3}$$
. He wonders if this means that
$$-1\frac{1}{6}$$
is also less than
$$-1\frac{2}{3}$$
.
Help Tram determine and understand the correct order of
$$-1\frac{1}{6}$$
and
$$-1\frac{2}{3}$$
, from least to greatest.
