Math Problem Statement

(βˆ’π‘–)(3+4𝑖)(3+4𝑖)

Solution

Let's break down the given expression:

(βˆ’i)(3+4i)(3+4i)(-i)(3 + 4i)(3 + 4i)

Step 1: Multiply the two complex numbers (3+4i)(3 + 4i) and (3+4i)(3 + 4i)

We will use the distributive property to expand the product:

(3+4i)(3+4i)=3(3+4i)+4i(3+4i)(3 + 4i)(3 + 4i) = 3(3 + 4i) + 4i(3 + 4i)

Now, distribute each term:

=3β‹…3+3β‹…4i+4iβ‹…3+4iβ‹…4i= 3 \cdot 3 + 3 \cdot 4i + 4i \cdot 3 + 4i \cdot 4i

This simplifies to:

=9+12i+12i+16i2= 9 + 12i + 12i + 16i^2

Since i2=βˆ’1i^2 = -1, we substitute that in:

=9+12i+12i+16(βˆ’1)=9+24iβˆ’16= 9 + 12i + 12i + 16(-1) = 9 + 24i - 16

Simplifying:

=βˆ’7+24i= -7 + 24i

Step 2: Multiply by (βˆ’i)(-i)

Now, multiply (βˆ’i)(-i) by (βˆ’7+24i)(-7 + 24i):

(βˆ’i)(βˆ’7+24i)=(βˆ’i)(βˆ’7)+(βˆ’i)(24i)(-i)(-7 + 24i) = (-i)(-7) + (-i)(24i)

Simplify each term:

=7iβˆ’24i2= 7i - 24i^2

Since i2=βˆ’1i^2 = -1, substitute that:

=7iβˆ’24(βˆ’1)=7i+24= 7i - 24(-1) = 7i + 24

Final Answer:

24+7i24 + 7i
