Q. Simplify the expression to a + bi form:(1+7i)(11+8i)Answer:
Distribute Terms: Distribute each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number.(1+7i)(11+8i)=1×(11+8i)+7i×(11+8i)
Multiply Parts: Multiply the real parts and the imaginary parts separately.1∗(11+8i)=11+8i7i∗(11+8i)=77i+56i2Since i2=−1, replace i2 with −1.77i+56(−1)=77i−56
Replace i2: Combine the real parts and the imaginary parts.(11+8i)+(77i−56)=11−56+8i+77i
Combine Parts: Simplify the expression by adding the real parts and the imaginary parts. 11−56+8i+77i=−45+85i
