Q. Multiply and simplify the following complex numbers:(−4−5i)⋅(1−i)
Distribute terms: Distribute each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number.(−4−5i)∗(1−i)=(−4)∗(1)+(−4)∗(−i)+(−5i)∗(1)+(−5i)∗(−i)
Multiply terms: Multiply the terms.(−4)⋅(1)=−4(−4)⋅(−i)=4i(−5i)⋅(1)=−5i(−5i)⋅(−i)=5i2
Simplify using i2: Remember that i2=−1 and simplify.5i2=5∗(−1)=−5
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.(−4)+(4i)+(−5i)+(−5)=−4−5+(4i−5i)=−9−i
