(9 - 4i)(2 + 5i)
To solve this question you must FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) like so
First:
(9 - 4i)(2 + 5i)
9 * 2
18
Outside:
(9 - 4i)(2 + 5i)
9 * 5i
45i
Inside:
(9 - 4i)(2 + 5i)
-4i * 2
-8i
Last:
(9 - 4i)(2 + 5i)
-4i * 5i
-20i²
Now combine all the products of the FOIL together like so...
18 + 45i - 8i - 20i²
***Note that i² = -1; In this case that means -20i² = 20
18 + 45i - 8i + 20
Combine like terms:
38 - 37i
^^^This is your answer
