\[2i \times i = 2i^2 = 2(-1) = -2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so when you add them all up you have
\[-6-3i+4i-2\] and you just have to combine like terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is -7?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
combine the i's and combine the constants. Don't mix them
(-3i + 4i) + (-6 - 2)
i - 8 is your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or rather -8 + i is the order it's usually written in
