Using complex numbers, it is found that the result of the multiplication is: 26 - 7i
- A complex number has the format: [tex]z = a + bi[/tex]
- The important relation is: [tex]i^2 = -1[/tex].
In this problem, the multiplication is: [tex](5 + 2i)(4 - 3i)[/tex].
Applying the distributive property:
[tex](5 + 2i)(4 - 3i) = 20 - 15i + 8i -6i^2 = 20 - 7i + 6 = 26 - 7i[/tex]
The result is: 26 - 7i
