Use the distributive property to simplify and write the answer in standard form. 3i(2i +9) (1 point) Responses 5i + 12 5i + 12 -6 + 27i -6 + 27i 6 + 12i 6 + 12i 5i + 9
To simplify using the distributive property, we need to multiply 3i by both terms inside the parentheses:
3i(2i + 9) = 3i * 2i + 3i * 9
= 6i^2 + 27i
Since i^2 is equal to -1, we can replace it:
= 6(-1) + 27i
= -6 + 27i
Therefore, the simplified expression is -6 + 27i, which is written in standard form.
