Full solution

Q. 8i(12i)= -8 i \cdot(12-i)= \newlineYour answer should be a complex number in the form a+bi a+b i where a a and b b are real numbers.
  1. Multiply complex numbers: Multiply the complex number (12i)(12-i) by the complex number 8i-8i. To multiply two complex numbers, we distribute the multiplication over addition, just like with polynomials. (8i)×(12i)=(8i×12)+(8i×i)(-8i) \times (12 - i) = (-8i \times 12) + (-8i \times -i)
  2. Calculate products: Calculate the products from Step 11.\newline8i×12=96i-8i \times 12 = -96i (since ii is the imaginary unit and 1212 is a real number)\newline8i×i=8i2-8i \times -i = 8i^2 (since i2=1i^2 = -1)
  3. Substitute and simplify: Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1 and simplify.\newline8i2=8×(1)=88i^2 = 8 \times (-1) = -8\newlineNow we have two parts: 96i-96i (the imaginary part) and 8-8 (the real part).
  4. Combine real and imaginary parts: Combine the real and imaginary parts to write the final answer.\newlineThe real part is 8-8 and the imaginary part is 96i-96i.\newlineSo, the product is 896i-8 - 96i.
