Write the product in standard form. (2-3i)(2+i)

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm (2-3i)(2+i)=2(2)+2(i)+(-3i)2+(-3i)i\]So we start by doing the FOIL thingy. Then we simplify each term down, yah?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Where you gettin stuck?

OpenStudy (kj4uts):

I know how do foil I just never did something with i in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply it like normal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The only term that's going to seem weird is the last one :o

OpenStudy (kj4uts):
