Answer:

28 -4i

Explanation:

Perhaps you want the product ...

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

Multiplying in the usual way, we get ...

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

= 24 +8i -12i -4i^2

Recognizing that i^2 = -1, we can collect terms to get ...

= 24 +i(8 -12) -4(-1)

= 28 -4i

_____

Please note that i = √(-1) is not the same as 1 or /. You may need to edit your question to ensure the correct symbol is used.
