We'll recall the definition of the distributive
law:
(a+b)(c+d)=(a+b)*c +
(a+b)*d
We'll use the distributive law to perform the
multiplication of given complex numbers:
(2+3i)(1-5i) =
(2+3i)*1 + (2+3i)*(-5i)
We'll remove the
brackets:
(2+3i)(1-5i) = 2 + 3i - 10i - 15
`i^2`
But `i^2` =
-1
(2+3i)(1-5i) = 2 + 3i - 10i +
15
We'll combine real parts and imaginary parts and we'll
get:
(2+3i)(1-5i) = 17 -
7i
The result of multiplication of the given
complex numbers, using distributive law, is (2+3i)(1-5i) = 17 -
7i.
