Question

(8-4i)(5i-2) I need the steps

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ -20i^{2} + 48i - 16}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

( 8 - 4i ) ( 5i - 2 )

Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial.

⇒$8 ( 5i - 2 ) - 4i ( 5i - 2 )$

⇒$40i - 16 - 20i^{2} + 8i$

Combine like terms.

Like terms are those which have the same base.

⇒$- 20i^{2} +40i+ 8i - 16$

⇒$-20i^{2} + 48i - 16$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
