Q. −2i⋅(2+6i)=Your answer should be a complex number in the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers.
Distribute −2i to terms inside parentheses: To multiply the complex number −2i by (2+6i), we distribute −2i to both terms inside the parentheses.Calculation: −2i×2+(−2i×6i)
Multiply −2i by 2: Multiplying −2i by 2 gives us −4i.Calculation: −2i×2=−4i
Multiply −2i by 6i: Multiplying −2i by 6i gives us −12i2. Since i2 is equal to −1, this simplifies to 12.Calculation: −2i×6i=−12i2=−12(−1)=12
Combine the results: Now we combine the results of the two multiplications to get the final answer.Calculation: −4i+12
