Question

Perform the indicated operation and write the result in the form a + bi.
(4 + 9i) (7-4i)

Answer 1

The result of (4 + 9i)(7 - 4i) in the form of a + bi is 64 + 47i.

Solution:

Given, product term is (4 + 9i)(7 – 4i )

We have to find the result and write it a + bi form.

$\text { Now, }(4+9 i) \times(7-4 i)=4 \times(7-4 i)+9 i \times(7-4 i)$

Multiplying the terms we get,

$=4 \times 7-4 \times 4 i+9 i \times 7-9 i \times 4 i$$=28-16 i+63 i-36(i)^{2}$

We know that value of $i^2$ is -1

= 28 – 16i + 63i – 36(-1)

= (28 + 36) + (63 – 16)i

= 64 + 47i

Hence, the result is 64 + 47i which is in form of a + bi
