Q. 4i(7+i)= 4 i \cdot(-7+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 4i4i and (7+i)(-7+i).\newlineTo multiply two complex numbers, we use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials), which states that for any complex numbers a+bia+bi and c+dic+di, (a+bi)(c+di)=ac+adi+bci+bdi2(a+bi)(c+di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi^2.\newlineLet's apply this to our numbers: (4i)(7+i)=(4i)(7)+(4i)(i)(4i)(-7+i) = (4i)(-7) + (4i)(i).
  2. Apply distributive property: Calculate the individual products.\newline(4i)(7)=28i(4i)(-7) = -28i (since 4i×74i \times -7 gives 28i-28i).\newline(4i)(i)=4i2(4i)(i) = 4i^2 (since 4i×i4i \times i gives 4i24i^2).
  3. Calculate individual products: Remember that i2=1i^2 = -1. Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1 in the expression 4i24i^2 to get 4(1)4(-1), which equals 4-4.
  4. Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33.\newlineWe have 28i-28i from the first product and 4-4 from the second product.\newlineSo, the sum is 28i+(4)-28i + (-4).
  5. Combine results from Step 22 and Step 33: Write the result in the standard form of a complex number a+bia+bi. The real part aa is 4-4, and the imaginary part bb is 28-28. Therefore, the product of the complex numbers 4i4i and (7+i)(-7+i) is 428i-4 - 28i.
