Question

What is the product of 5 - 2i and 3 - 4i?
Answer in standard form

Answer 1

If standard form means a+bi, then the answer is 7-26i. this is because if you use the distributive property, you get 15-26i+8i^2. i^2 in this situation is equal to -1. Once you multiply that to 8, you add it to 15 to get7. In standard form, 8 would be the a and b would be the -26

Answer 2

The correct answer is: 17 - i

Explanation:
