Final answer:

To find the product Q · E · D, the complex numbers are multiplied step by step. The product of Q and E is 146, and multiplying this result by D gives the final answer of 292i.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the product of the complex numbers Q, E, and D. To find the product Q · E · D, we multiply these complex numbers step by step.

Given numbers are Q = 11 - 5i, E = 11 + 5i, and D = 2i.

Firstly, we find the product of Q and E:

  • Q · E = (11 - 5i)(11 + 5i)
  • = 11· 11 + 11 · 5i - 5i · 11 - 5i · 5i
  • = 121 + 55i - 55i - 25i²
  • Since i² = -1, this simplifies to:
  • = 121 + 0 - 25(-1)
  • = 121 + 25
  • = 146

Now we multiply this result by D:

  • (Q · E) · D = 146 · 2i
  • = 292i
