Answer

a) $7+i$ b) $-1-5i$ c) $18-i$ d) ${6\over25}-{17\over25}i$ e) $1$ f) $2-2i$

Work Step by Step

a) we add the real and complex parts: $3+4+3i-2i=7+i$ b) we subtract the real and complex parts: $3-4 -2i-3i=-1-5i$ c)We apply the Binomial Multiplication: $(3-2i)(4+3i)=$ $3(4)+3(3i)-2i(4)-2i(3i)=$ $12+9i-8i-6i^2$ Since $i^2=-1$ $12-i-6(-1)=$ $12-i+6=$ $18-i$ d) We multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: ${3-2i\over{4+3i}} \cdot{4-3i\over{4-3i}}=$ Now we apply the binomial multiplication ${{3(4)+3(-3i)-2i(4)-2i(-3i)}\over{4(4)+4(-3i)+3i(4)+3i(-3i)}}=$ ${12-9i-8i+6i^2}\over{16-12i+12i-9i^2}$ Knowing that $i^2=-1$ ${{12-17i+6(-1)}\over{16-9(-1)}}=$ ${{12-17i-6}\over{16+9}}=$ ${{6-17i}\over{25}}=$ ${6\over25}-{17\over25}i$ e) We divide the exponent by 4 and the answer to the question will be $i$ to the power of the remainder of the division. $48$ divided by $4$ gives $12$ with no remainder. So, $i^{48}=i^0=1$ f)We apply the Binomial Multiplication: $\sqrt2\sqrt8+\sqrt2\sqrt{-2}-\sqrt{-2}\sqrt8-\sqrt{-2}\sqrt{-2}=$ $\sqrt{16}+\sqrt{-4}-\sqrt{-16}-\sqrt4$ Knowing that $\sqrt{-n}=\sqrt n\cdot i$ $4+\sqrt4 \cdot i- \sqrt{16} \cdot i -2=$ $2+2i-4i=$ $2-2i$
