Subtract the following complex numbers:(11 - 9i) - (15 - 12i)A.-4 - 21iB.-4 + 3iC.4 + 3iD.4 - 21iSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
To subtract complex numbers, you subtract the real parts and the imaginary parts separately. Here's how you do it:
-
Identify the real and imaginary parts of the complex numbers. In (11 - 9i), 11 is the real part and -9i is the imaginary part. In (15 - 12i), 15 is the real part and -12i is the imaginary part.
-
Subtract the real parts: 11 - 15 = -4
-
Subtract the imaginary parts: -9i - (-12i) = -9i + 12i = 3i
So, (11 - 9i) - (15 - 12i) = -4 + 3i
Therefore, the answer is B. -4 + 3i.
