Given:


(4-2i)(1+7i_{})

To find: The product of the complex numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

On multiplication we get,


(4-2i)(1+7i_{})=4+28i-2i-14(i^2)

We know that


i^2=-1

Using the above identity, we get


\begin{gathered} =4+28i-2i-14(-1) \\ =4+26i+14 \\ =18+26i \end{gathered}

Final answer: Option D


18+26i
