Recall:

Name: __________________

2
1 = i and i = -1

Sample Problems:
Ex. 1)

25 = 25 1

(5i)(3 - 2i) = 15i -10i2


= 15i 10(-1)
= 10 + 15i

Ex. 2)

= 5i

Ex. 3)

(3 + 2i) ( 5 + i) = -2 + i

Ex. 4)

(2 + i)(4 + 7i)

=
=
=
=

8 + 14i + 4i + 7i2
8 + 18i + 7(-1)
8 + 18i 7
1 + 18i

Complete the following practice problems:


1.

100

5. (5i)(7i)

2.

.25

6. 9i(1 8i)

3.

17

7. -7i(12 + 3i)

4.

8. (4i)(-3i)(0.5i)

9. (8 - 14i) + (10 - 5i)

10. (3 + 4i) (-7 + 11.5i)

11. (5 + 4i)(6 - 12i)

12. (4 - 10i)(4 + 10i)
