Q. Multiply and simplify the following complex numbers:(3−4i)⋅(−3+2i)
Distribute terms: Distribute each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number.(3−4i)⋅(−3+2i)=3⋅(−3)+3⋅(2i)−4i⋅(−3)−4i⋅(2i)
Multiply terms: Multiply the terms.3⋅(−3)=−93⋅(2i)=6i−4i⋅(−3)=12i−4i⋅(2i)=−8i2
Combine like terms: Combine like terms and remember that i2=−1.−9+6i+12i−8(−1)=−9+18i+8
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression by adding real parts and imaginary parts separately.−9+8=−1 (Real part)18i (Imaginary part)
Write final answer: Write the final answer as a complex number. −1+18i
