Question

If x = (10 − 3i) and y = (3 − 10i), then xy= and xy=

Answer 1

Answer:

$xy = -109i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$x = 10 - 3i$

$y = 3-10i$

where, i is the imaginary part

We have to find xy.

$xy=(10-3i)(3-10i)$

⇒$(10-3i)(3-10i) = 30-100i-9i+30i^2$

We know that: $i^2 = -1$

then;

⇒$(10-3i)(3-10i) = 30-100i-9i-30=-109i$

⇒$xy =-109i$

therefore, the product of x and y is, -109i

Answer 2

$xy=(10-3i)(3-10i)=30-100i-9i-30=-109i$
