2i−18i

Question

. Provide your answer in the form of a+bi
. (1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(2i - 18i\), you combine like terms:

\[ 2i - 18i = (2 - 18)i = -16i \]

In the form \(a + bi\), where \(a\) is the real part and \(b\) is the imaginary part, we have:

\[ 0 - 16i \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ 0 - 16i \]

Or simply:

\[ 0 + (-16)i \]

So the final answer can be expressed as:

\[ 0 - 16i \]
