Math Problem Statement

calculate the value of this imaginary or complex expression below. make sure to simplify your answers fully. the square of 2itimes the square of 6i

Solution

We are tasked with calculating the expression:

The square of 2i×the square of 6i.\text{The square of } 2i \times \text{the square of } 6i.

Step 1: Represent the expression mathematically

The given expression can be written as: (2i)2×(6i)2(2i)^2 \times (6i)^2

Step 2: Simplify each square term

  1. (2i)2=22i2=4(1)=4(2i)^2 = 2^2 \cdot i^2 = 4 \cdot (-1) = -4, since i2=1i^2 = -1.
  2. (6i)2=62i2=36(1)=36(6i)^2 = 6^2 \cdot i^2 = 36 \cdot (-1) = -36.

Step 3: Multiply the results

Now, substitute back into the expression: (2i)2×(6i)2=(4)×(36)=144.(2i)^2 \times (6i)^2 = (-4) \times (-36) = 144.

Final Answer:

144\boxed{144}
