The imaginary unit &#8220;i&#8221; is defined as the square root of \u20131. A complex number looks like this:<br><strong>a + bi<\/strong>, where <strong>a<\/strong> is the real part and <strong>b<\/strong> is the coefficient of the imaginary part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this problem, we are subtracting two complex numbers:<br><strong>(\u20139 \u2013 8i)<\/strong> and <strong>(3 + 2i)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expression <strong>&#8220;subtract (3 + 2i) from (\u20139 \u2013 8i)&#8221;<\/strong> means we take the second number and subtract the first: (\u20139\u20138i)\u2013(3+2i)(\u20139 \u2013 8i) \u2013 (3 + 2i)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this, we treat the real and imaginary parts separately.<br>Start with the real parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The real part of (\u20139 \u2013 8i) is \u20139.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The real part of (3 + 2i) is 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So, <strong>\u20139 \u2013 3 = \u201312<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, handle the imaginary parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The imaginary part of (\u20139 \u2013 8i) is \u20138i.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The imaginary part of (3 + 2i) is 2i.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So, <strong>\u20138i \u2013 2i = \u201310i<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When we combine the results, we get: \u201312\u201310i\u201312 \u2013 10i<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is our final simplified answer. Subtracting complex numbers this way is similar to subtracting binomials: handle each part (real and imaginary) separately.
