How is the product of a complex number and a real number represented on the coordinate plane?
A. When 2+3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6+9i. Graphically, this shows that the product is a scalar of the complex number.
B. When 2+3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6+9i. Graphically, this shows that the product is a countercockwise rotation of 90 degrees of the complex number.
C. When 2+3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6+9i. Graphically, this shows that the product is a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees of the complex number.
D. When 2+3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6+9i. Graphically, this shows the product is a counterclockwise rotation of 90 degrees and a scalar of the complex number.
Please help I don't know which one.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation: When you multiply a coordinate in the complex plane it doesn't just magically rotate. It works the exact same way a normal coordinate would. Therefore, the answer is A

When 2 + 3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6 + 9i. Graphically, this shows that the product is a scalar of the complex number.

The correct answer is an option (A)

What is a complex number?

"It is number of the form [tex]x+iy[/tex] where the first part (x) is called real part and the second part ([tex]iy[/tex]) is called as imaginary part and [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex]"

What are real numbers?

"It is a combination of rational and irrational numbers, including positive and negative whole numbers, integers, decimals, fractions"

For given example,

The product of a complex number and a real number.

Let, [tex]u[/tex] be any real number and [tex]x+iy[/tex] be any complex number.

The product of 'u' and 'x + iy' is,

[tex]\Rightarrow u\times(x+iy)=(u\times x)+i(u\times y)\\\\\Rightarrow u(x+iy)=ux+i(uy)[/tex]

Let [tex]2+3i[/tex] be a complex number.

For [tex]u=4[/tex],

[tex]\Rightarrow 4\times(2+3i)=8+12i[/tex]

Let [tex]u=-2[/tex],

[tex]\Rightarrow -2\times(2+3i)=-4-6i[/tex]

We can observe that, the product is a scalar of the complex number.

Therefore, when 2+3i is multiplied by 3, the result is 6+9i. Graphically, this shows that the product is a scalar of the complex number.

The correct answer is an option (A)
