Find each product. Write answers in standard form. (3-i)(3+1)(2-6i)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
First, identify the expression to be simplified: \((3 - i)(3 + 1)(2 - 6i)\).
Notice that \((3 + 1)\) is a real number and can be simplified directly to \(4\). So rewrite the expression as \((3 - i) \times 4 \times (2 - 6i)\).
Next, multiply the complex numbers \((3 - i)\) and \((2 - 6i)\) using the distributive property (FOIL method): \((3 - i)(2 - 6i) = 3 \times 2 + 3 \times (-6i) - i \times 2 - i \times (-6i)\).
Simplify each term: \(3 \times 2 = 6\), \(3 \times (-6i) = -18i\), \(-i \times 2 = -2i\), \(-i \times (-6i) = +6i^2\). Remember that \(i^2 = -1\), so \(6i^2 = 6 \times (-1) = -6\).
Combine like terms from the multiplication: Real parts: \(6 - 6 = 0\), Imaginary parts: \(-18i - 2i = -20i\). So, \((3 - i)(2 - 6i) = -20i\). Finally, multiply this result by \(4\) to get the product in standard form.

Complex Numbers and Imaginary Unit

Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary part, expressed as a + bi, where i is the imaginary unit with the property i² = -1. Understanding how to work with i is essential for simplifying expressions involving complex numbers.
