Question

Perform the indicated operation and write the result in the form a + bi.

4i(-i + 3) - 3(6 - 2i)

Answer 1

- 14 + 18i

Explanation:

Note that i² = (
`√(-1)` )² = - 1

Given

4i(- i + 3) - 3(6 - 21) ← distribute both parenthesis

= - 4i² + 12i - 18 + 6i

= - 4(- 1) - 18 + 18i

= 4 - 18 + 18i

= - 14 + 18i
