Math Problem Statement

(9i^2 + 14i - 5) + (9i^2 - 11i + 4)

Solution

The given mathematical expression is:

(9i2+14i5)+(9i211i+4)(9i^2 + 14i - 5) + (9i^2 - 11i + 4)

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Simplify i2i^2: Recall that i2=1i^2 = -1.

    Substitute i2=1i^2 = -1 into the expression: (9(1)+14i5)+(9(1)11i+4)(9(-1) + 14i - 5) + (9(-1) - 11i + 4)

  2. Simplify each part:

    • First term: 9(1)+14i5=9+14i5=14+14i9(-1) + 14i - 5 = -9 + 14i - 5 = -14 + 14i
    • Second term: 9(1)11i+4=911i+4=511i9(-1) - 11i + 4 = -9 - 11i + 4 = -5 - 11i
  3. Combine the two terms: Add (14+14i)(-14 + 14i) and (511i)(-5 - 11i): (14+14i)+(511i)=(145)+(14i11i)(-14 + 14i) + (-5 - 11i) = (-14 - 5) + (14i - 11i) Simplify: 19+3i-19 + 3i

Final Answer:

19+3i-19 + 3i

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the geometric representation of ii on the complex plane?
  2. How is addition of complex numbers visualized graphically?
  3. What happens when you multiply two imaginary numbers like iii \cdot i?
  4. What are the polar forms of complex numbers, and how do they relate to Cartesian form?
  5. Can you identify the modulus and argument of a complex number like 19+3i-19 + 3i?

Tip: Always simplify powers of ii by remembering the pattern i2=1,i3=i,i4=1i^2 = -1, i^3 = -i, i^4 = 1, and so on!
