Question

quadratic and polynomial functions
adding or subtracting complex numbers
add.
(2 - 3i) + (-5i)
write your answer as a complex number in standard form.

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

To add the complex numbers, we first remove the parentheses: \((2 - 3i)+(-5i)=2 - 3i - 5i\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Next, we combine the imaginary parts. The real part is \(2\), and for the imaginary parts, we have \(-3i-5i = (-3 - 5)i=-8i\)
So the result is \(2-8i\)

Answer:

\(2 - 8i\)
