Can someone explain why I got this wrong? I chose D. Multiply (9 − 4i)(2 + 5i). −2 + 37i 18 − 20i2 38 + 37i 18 + 37i − 20i2

OpenStudy (stefrheart):

Well when you FOIL it you got to remeber that the last part \[i^2 = -1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(9-4i)(2+5i)\] \[(18+45i-8i-20i^2)\] \[18+37i-20(-1)\] \[38+37i\] Choice C
