Q. −20⋅(2i−7)=Your answer should be a complex number in the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers.
Distribute real number: Distribute the real number −20 to both terms of the complex number (2i−7). We multiply −20 by each term inside the parentheses. −20×(2i)=−40i−20×(−7)=140
Multiply by terms: Combine the results of the distribution to form the complex number.The real part is 140, and the imaginary part is −40i.So, the complex number in the form a+bi is 140−40i.
