The expression -17 + 5 + 3i - 8 can be simplified as follows:
-17 + 5 + 3i - 8 = (-17 - 8) + (5 + 3i)
= -25 + (5 + 3i)
= -25 + 5 + 3i
Combining the real numbers and imaginary numbers, we get:
= -20 + 3i
So the expression -17 + 5 + 3i - 8 expressed in the form of a + bi is -20 + 3i.
Which of the following correctly simplifies the expression -17 + 5 + 3i - 8 and expresses it in the form of a + bi?
