Q. (12)−(23+13i)=Express your answer in the form (a+bi).
Identify complex numbers: Identify the real and imaginary parts of the complex numbers involved.The first complex number is 12, which can be written as (12+0i) where 12 is the real part and 0 is the imaginary part.The second complex number is (23+13i) where 23 is the real part and 13i is the imaginary part.
Subtract real and imaginary parts: Subtract the real parts and the imaginary parts separately.Subtract the real part of the second complex number from the real part of the first complex number: 12−23=−11.Subtract the imaginary part of the second complex number from the imaginary part of the first complex number: 0i−13i=−13i.
Combine results in (a+bi) form: Combine the results of the subtraction to express the answer in the form (a+bi).The result of the subtraction is (−11)+(−13i), which can be written as (−11−13i).
