Q. Simplify (5+2i)(1+3i)(5+2i)(1+3i).\newlineA. 5+6i5+6i\newlineB. 1-1\newlineC. 1+17i-1+17 i\newlineD. 11+17i11+17 i
  1. Identify and Apply Distributive Property: Identify the given expression and apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the two complex numbers.\newline(5+2i)(1+3i)=5(1)+5(3i)+2i(1)+2i(3i)(5+2i)(1+3i) = 5\cdot(1) + 5\cdot(3i) + 2i\cdot(1) + 2i\cdot(3i)
  2. Perform Multiplication for Each Term: Perform the multiplication for each term.\newline5×(1)=55\times(1) = 5\newline5×(3i)=15i5\times(3i) = 15i\newline2i×(1)=2i2i\times(1) = 2i\newline2i×(3i)=6i22i\times(3i) = 6i^2\newlineRemember that i2=1i^2 = -1.
  3. Substitute and Combine Like Terms: Substitute i2i^2 with 1-1 and combine like terms.\newline5+15i+2i+6(1)=5+17i65 + 15i + 2i + 6(-1) = 5 + 17i - 6
  4. Simplify Real and Imaginary Parts: Simplify the real and imaginary parts.\newline(56)+17i=1+17i(5 - 6) + 17i = -1 + 17i
