Q. 9i⋅(−4−7i)=Your answer should be a complex number in the form a+bi where a and b are real numbers.
Step 1: Distribute the multiplication: Multiply the complex numbers 9i and (−4−7i).To multiply two complex numbers, we distribute the multiplication over addition, just like we would with binomials.(9i)∗(−4−7i)=(9i∗−4)+(9i∗−7i)
Step 2: Calculate the products: Calculate the products from Step 1.9i×−4=−36i (since i is the imaginary unit and −4 is a real number, their product is an imaginary number).9i×−7i=−63i2 (since i2=−1, we will use this to simplify the expression).
Step 3: Simplify using i2=−1: Simplify the expression from Step 2 using the fact that i2=−1.−36i+(−63×−1)=−36i+63
Step 4: Write the final answer: Write the final answer in the form a+bi.The real part a is 63, and the imaginary part b is −36.So, the product of the complex numbers 9i and (−4−7i) is 63−36i.
