Question

The equation: -2(4-5i)=-8+10i demonstrates which of the following properties?-commutative property-distributive property-associative property -identity property

Answer 1

Given expression

`a(b+c)=a(b)+a(c)`

So,

`\begin{gathered} -2(4-5i)=-2(4)-2(-5i) \\ =-8+10i \end{gathered}`

Hence, this is the distributive law.
