Q. −9i⋅(6i+8)=Your answer should be a complex number in the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers.
Distribute −9i: Distribute −9i across the terms inside the parentheses (6i+8).We need to multiply −9i by each term inside the parentheses separately.−9i×6i=−54i2−9i×8=−72i
Simplify the product: Simplify the product.We know that i2=−1, so we can replace −54i2 with 54, because −54×−1=54.The product is now 54−72i.
Write the final answer: Write the final answer in the form a+bi.The real part a is 54, and the imaginary part b is −72.So the complex number is 54−72i.
