Answer

The simplified form of the expression $4i\left( 3i-2 \right)$ is $-12-8i$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression, $4i\left( 3i-2 \right)$ Use the distributive property. $\begin{align} & 4i\left( 3i-2 \right)=4i\left( 3i \right)+4i\left( -2 \right) \\ & =12{{i}^{2}}-8i \end{align}$ Use the definition ${{i}^{2}}=-1$. $\begin{align} & 4i\left( 3i-2 \right)=12\left( -1 \right)-8i \\ & =-12-8i \end{align}$ Therefore, the simplified form of the expression $4i\left( 3i-2 \right)$ is $-12-8i$.
