Write the expression as a complex number in standard form.
(5-2i)-2(3+i)
Please explain how to do this.
I don't know how.
My guess to what that means is just simplify it.
yeah, but in standard form.
Write the product of -3 and 10 as a complex number in standard form.
To write the expression (5-2i)-2(3+i) as a complex number in standard form, we need to simplify the expression by distributing the multiplication and combining like terms.
First, distribute -2 to (3+i):
-2(3+i) = -6 - 2i
Now, we can rewrite the expression:
(5-2i) - 2(3+i) = 5 - 2i - 6 - 2i
Next, we can combine like terms:
5 - 6 - 2i - 2i = -1 - 4i
Therefore, the expression (5-2i)-2(3+i) can be written as -1 - 4i in standard form.
