Question

find the sum or difference. write the answer in standard form.
(8 - 5i) + (3 + 2i)

a. 11 - 3i
b. 11 + 3i
c. 5 + 7i
d. -11 + 3i

Explanation:

Step1: Combine real parts

Add the real parts \(8\) and \(3\). So, \(8 + 3 = 11\).

Step2: Combine imaginary parts

Add the imaginary parts \(-5i\) and \(2i\). So, \(-5i+2i=-3i\).

Step3: Form the result

Combine the results from Step1 and Step2. The sum is \(11-3i\).

Answer:

A. \(11 - 3i\)
