Question

  1. $-5 - 12i(6 + 2i)$
  2. $-8i^2 - 5(2 + 3i)$

plot each complex number

  1. $a = -3 - 2i$
  2. $b = 7 + i$
  3. $c = 6 - 8i$
  4. $d = -7i$
  5. $e = -8$

what complex number does each point represent?

  1. $f$
  2. $g$
  3. $h$
  4. $i$

Explanation:

Response
Problem 10: Simplify \(-5 - 12i(6 + 2i)\)

Step 1: Distribute the \( -12i \)

Using the distributive property \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \), we have:
\( -5 - 12i \times 6 - 12i \times 2i \)
\( = -5 - 72i - 24i^2 \)

Step 2: Substitute \( i^2 = -1 \)

Since \( i^2 = -1 \), we substitute that in:
\( -5 - 72i - 24(-1) \)
\( = -5 - 72i + 24 \)

Step 3: Combine like terms

Combine the real parts (\( -5 \) and \( 24 \)):
\( (-5 + 24) - 72i \)
\( = 19 - 72i \)

Step 1: Substitute \( i^2 = -1 \) and distribute \( -5 \)

First, substitute \( i^2 = -1 \) into \( -8i^2 \), and distribute \( -5 \) in \( -5(2 + 3i) \):
\( -8(-1) - 5 \times 2 - 5 \times 3i \)
\( = 8 - 10 - 15i \)

Step 2: Combine like terms

Combine the real parts (\( 8 \) and \( -10 \)):
\( (8 - 10) - 15i \)
\( = -2 - 15i \)

Answer:

\( 19 - 72i \)

Problem 11: Simplify \( -8i^2 - 5(2 + 3i) \)
