Q. Multiply and simplify the following complex numbers:(−1−3i)⋅(−1+i)
Distribute terms: Distribute each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number.(−1−3i)×(−1+i)=(−1×−1)+(−1×i)+(−3i×−1)+(−3i×i)
Calculate multiplications: Calculate each multiplication.(−1×−1)=1(−1×i)=−i(−3i×−1)=3i(−3i×i)=−3i2 (Remember that i2=−1)
Substitute and simplify: Substitute i2 with −1 and simplify.−3i2=−3(−1)=3
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.1+3+(−i+3i)=4+2i
