Math Problem Statement

(i square root of 7)squared times 2i

Solution

Let's break down the expression step by step.

The expression given is:

(i7)2×2i(\text{i} \sqrt{7})^2 \times 2\text{i}

Step 1: Square the first term.

(i7)2=i2×(7)2(\text{i} \sqrt{7})^2 = \text{i}^2 \times (\sqrt{7})^2

i2=1\text{i}^2 = -1 and (7)2=7(\sqrt{7})^2 = 7, so: (i7)2=1×7=7(\text{i} \sqrt{7})^2 = -1 \times 7 = -7

Step 2: Multiply the result by 2i2\text{i}.

Now multiply 7-7 by 2i2\text{i}: 7×2i=14i-7 \times 2\text{i} = -14\text{i}

So the final answer is:

14i-14\text{i}

  2. How does multiplying complex numbers differ from multiplying real numbers?
  3. Can you explain why i2=1\text{i}^2 = -1?
  4. What happens if you multiply two purely imaginary numbers?
  5. How do you add or subtract complex numbers?

Tip: When dealing with imaginary numbers, remember that i2=1\text{i}^2 = -1 is a key property that simplifies many expressions.
