Full solution

Q. Multiply and simplify the following complex numbers:\newline(22i)(44i) (2-2 i) \cdot(4-4 i)
  1. Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the two complex numbers.\newline(22i)(44i)=24+2(4i)+(2i)4+(2i)(4i)(2-2i)*(4-4i) = 2\cdot 4 + 2\cdot (-4i) + (-2i)\cdot 4 + (-2i)\cdot (-4i)
  2. Perform multiplication for each term: Perform the multiplication for each term.\newline=88i8i+8i2= 8 - 8i - 8i + 8i^2\newlineNote that i2=1i^2 = -1.
  3. Substitute i2i^2 and combine like terms: Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1 and combine like terms.\newline= 88i8i88 - 8i - 8i - 8\newline= 816i88 - 16i - 8
  4. Simplify expression by combining real and imaginary parts: Simplify the expression by combining the real parts and the imaginary parts.\newline=(88)16i= (8 - 8) - 16i\newline=016i= 0 - 16i\newline=16i= -16i
