Q. Multiply and simplify the following complex numbers:(−1+4i)⋅(4−3i)
Distribute terms in complex numbers: Distribute each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number.(−1+4i)∗(4−3i)=(−1⋅4)+(−1⋅−3i)+(4i⋅4)+(4i⋅−3i)
Perform multiplication for each term: Perform the multiplication for each term.(−1×4)=−4(−1×−3i)=3i(4i×4)=16i(4i×−3i)=−12i2
Simplify using i2: Remember that i2=−1 and simplify the terms.−12i2=−12∗(−1)=12
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.(−4)+(3i)+(16i)+(12)=8+19i
Write final answer in standard form: Write the final answer in the standard form of a complex number.The product of the complex numbers (−1+4i) and (4−3i) is 8+19i.
