Q. 3i(3+2i)= 3 i \cdot(3+2 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 numbers 3i3i and (3+2i)(3+2i).\newlineTo multiply two complex numbers, we distribute the multiplication over addition, just like we would with binomials.\newline(3i)(3+2i)=3i3+3i2i(3i)\cdot(3+2i) = 3i\cdot 3 + 3i\cdot 2i
  2. Calculate the products: Calculate the products.\newline3i×3=9i3i \times 3 = 9i (since ii is the imaginary unit, it stays with the real number 33)\newline3i×2i=6i23i \times 2i = 6i^2 (since i×i=i2i \times i = i^2, and i2=1i^2 = -1)
  3. Substitute and simplify: Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1 and simplify.\newline6i2=6(1)=66i^2 = 6*(-1) = -6 (since i2=1i^2 = -1)\newlineNow we combine this with the other product:\newline9i+(6)9i + (-6)
  4. Combine the products: Write the final answer in the form a+bia+bi.\newlineThe real part aa is 6-6, and the imaginary part bb is 99.\newlineSo the final answer is 6+9i-6 + 9i.
