1 answer:
Donte did a mistake that 'he did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 3i)' option (A) is correct.
<h3>What is a complex number?</h3>It is defined as the number which can be written as x+iy where x is the real number or real part of the complex number and y is the imaginary part of the complex number and i is the iota which is nothing but a square root of -1.
The question is incomplete.
The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.
We have an expression:
= 4(1 + 3i) – (8 – 5i)
= 4 + 12i - 8 + 5i
He did not distribute the subtraction sign correctly for 8 – 5i.
= -4 + 17i
Thus, Donte did a mistake in that 'he did not apply the distributive property correctly for 4(1 3i)' option (A) is correct.
