To perform the operation and write the result in standard form, we need to simplify the expression first.
Let's break down the given expression step by step:
9i - (5 + 3i)
First, distribute the negative sign:
9i - 5 - 3i
Next, combine like terms (terms with the imaginary unit 'i'):
(9i - 3i) - 5
Combine the real terms:
6i - 5
The result is 6i - 5. This is already in standard form since the real and imaginary parts are separated.
Therefore, the final answer in standard form is 6i - 5.
