Question
Multiply the following complex numbers:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
To multiply complex numbers, you can use the distributive property, also known as the FOIL method in this case. FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last.
First, multiply the first terms in each binomial: (7)(2) = 14
Next, multiply the outer terms in the product: (7)(3i) = 21i
Then, multiply the inner terms: (2i)(2) = 4i
Finally, multiply the last terms: (2i)(3i) = 6i^2
Remember that i^2 = -1, so you can simplify 6i^2 to -6.
Now, add all these results together: 14 + 21i + 4i - 6 = 8 + 25i
So, the product of (7 + 2i)(2 + 3i) is 8 + 25i. The correct answer is C. 8 + 25i.
