Question

Evaluate the expression (-4-4i) +(-8-11) and write the result in the form a + bi.The real number a equalsThe real number b equals

Answer 1

The answer is supposed to be in the form

$a+bi$

Therefore,

$(-4-4i)+(-8-1i)$$\begin{gathered} -4-4i-8-1i \\ \end{gathered}$

combine like terms

$-4-8-4i-1i$

Finally,

$-12-5i$

a = -12

b = -5
