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
