@Hero

hero (hero):

What exactly is preventing you from solving this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lack of knowledge as to the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

standard form..

hero (hero):

there is no formula. You just multiply it. You already know i = sqrt{-1}.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (4,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero

hero (hero):

You're not supposed to get an (x,y) point as the answer. You're supposed to end up with a complex number of the form a + bi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

hero (hero):

What happened to the other part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-3i???

hero (hero):

That's not what I got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get

hero (hero):

You should try doing linear multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can you explain it cause im really confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7-4i @Hero

hero (hero):

(2 - 3i)(2+i) = 2(2-3i) + i(2-3i) = 4 - 6i + 2i - 3i^2 = 4 - 4i -3(-1) = 4 + 3 - 4i = 7 - 4i
