The correct answer is 1 + 3i.
In order to get the answer to this, only add like terms. Add first the constants in the front.
3 + -2 = 1
Now add the imaginary terms
-5i + 8i = 3i
Then you can put the two together as a term and write as 1 + 3i.
Answer:
Step-bAdd (3 - 5i) + (-2 + 8i).
Sum of real parts:
1 + 3i.
⇒ 1
Sum of imaginary parts:
⇒ 3i
