Simplify 6i⋅(−4)i

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( 6i \cdot (-4)i \), we can start by treating the imaginary unit \( i \) properly.

  1. First, combine the coefficients: \[ 6 \cdot (-4) = -24 \]

  2. Next, combine the powers of \( i \): \[ i \cdot i = i^2 \] And since \( i^2 = -1 \), we have: \[ -24 \cdot i^2 = -24 \cdot (-1) = 24 \]

Putting it all together, we find: \[ 6i \cdot (-4)i = 24 \]

Thus, the simplified result is: \[ \boxed{24} \]
