Question
multiply.
$(6 - 6i)(-2 + 4i)$
write your answer as a complex number in standard form.
Step1: Apply the distributive property (FOIL method)
We multiply each term in the first complex number by each term in the second complex number:
$$

$$
Step2: Simplify using \(i^2=-1\)
Recall that \(i^2 = - 1\), so we substitute \(-1\) for \(i^2\) in the expression:
$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$
Step3: Combine like terms
Combine the real parts and the imaginary parts separately:
The real parts are \(-12\) and \(24\), and the imaginary parts are \(24i\) and \(12i\).
