What is a complex number?

Complex numbers are expressed in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'b' is the imaginary part, and 'i' is the imaginary unit (√-1).

What is the value of i²?

The imaginary unit 'i' is defined as the square root of -1 (i = √-1). Therefore, i² = -1.

How to multiply complex numbers?

To multiply complex numbers (a + bi) and (c + di), use the distributive property: (a + bi)(c + di) = ac + adi + bci + bdi². Remember that i² = -1.

Multiply: (3 - 2i)(3 + 4i)

To multiply (3 - 2i) and (3 + 4i), use the distributive property: (3 - 2i)(3 + 4i) = 9 + 12i - 6i - 8i². Then, substitute i² = -1.

What is (3 - 2i) * (3 + 4i)?

(3 - 2i)(3 + 4i) = 9 + 12i - 6i - 8i² = 9 + 6i - 8(-1) = 9 + 6i + 8 = 17 + 6i
