Question

5. & 7. simplify
9. & 11. factor completely

Answer 1

5)

= - i - 2 - 3i
= - 4i - 2
= - 2 (2i + 1)

7)

= - 4 [(2 -2i - i (8 - 4i)]
= - 4 (2 - 2i - 8i + 4i^2)
= - 4 (4i^2 - 10i + 2)
= (- 4) (2) (2i^2 - 5i + 1)
= - 8 (2i^2 - 5i + 1)

9)

= p^2 - 4p - 4p + 16
= p (p - 4) - 4 (p - 4)
= (p - 4) (p - 4)
= (p - 4) ^2

11)

= p^2 - 8p - 8p + 64
= b (b - 8) - 8 (b - 8)
= (b - 8) (b - 8)
= (b - 8)^2
