Question 184328: I have this problem for homework and I have utterly no idea how to go about this. My tutor (who assigned it in the first place) even told me to guess on the answers. Even still, I don't have a clue what it means. It's two parts:
a) Suppose that a+bi is multiplied by 1+i. By how many degrees must the arrow from (0,0) to (a,b) be rotated to coincide with the arrow from (0,0) to the product?
b) Suppose that a+bi is multiplied by √3+i. By how many degrees must the arrow from (0,0) to (a,b) be rotated to coincide with the arrow from (0,0) to the product?
To start, I thought the most rational thing to do was to multiply (for part a) a+bi by 1+i, and that gets me a+ai+bi-b. But I don't know what to do after that! I guess if I understood part a, I would be able to do part b, but I thought I should write the whole thing just in case.
Please help!

Question 187577: Please perform the operation of the following complex number. The answer should be in a + bi form: i(2+i)(3-2i)
I am an older student who has been out of highschool for 27 years. I tried the foil method of the 2 sets of parentheses, then applied the outer i, but my answer was incorrect. Thank you.

Question 188636: Does 2i times the square root of -4 equal -4?
I think 2i times the square root of -4 does equal -4, because the square root of -4 equals 2i and (2i)(2i) equals 4i^2. i^2 = -1 so (-1)(4)= -4.
So I am wondering if my solution of -4 correct?
