Answer:
1. The value of i is √(-1), and the value of i^2 is -1, since i*i is just √(-1)*√(-1).
2. I did the first part of the equation, the multiplying of (8-4i)(3i+2), and then subtracted (5-i). Multiply equation part of the equations by each other, as down below.
8*3i=24i
8*2=16
-4i*3i=12
-4i*2=-8i
Combine like terms.
24i-8i=16i
16+12=28
28+16i
Then do -(5-i), and combine like terms.
28+16i-(5-i)
28-5=23
16i-(-i) =17i
23+17i
3. Standard complex number form is a+bi, which I already have it in.
23+17i
