Practice makes perfect
a To evaluate the given expression for a=2+3i and b=1-i, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible. Let's do it!
a+b
2+3i+ 1-i
2+1+3i-i
3+2i
b To evaluate the given expression for a=2+3i and b=1-i, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible. Let's do it!
a-b
2+3i-( 1-i)
2+3i-1+i
2-1+3i+i
1+4i
c To evaluate the given expression for a=2+3i and b=1-i, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible. Let's do it!
ab
( 2+3i)( 1-i)
2+3i-i(2+3i)
2+3i-2i+3i^2
2+3i-2i+3(-1)
2+3i-2i-3
2-3+3i-2i
-1+i
