Compute (5 - 3i)³.
A125 + 27i
B125 - 27i
C-10 - 198i
D-10 + 198i
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. -10 - 198i
(a - b)³ = a³ - 3a²b + 3ab² - b³. Here a = 5, b = 3i. a³ = 125. 3a²b = 3·25·3i = 225i. 3ab² = 3·5·(3i)² = 15·(-9) = -135. b³ = (3i)³ = 27i³ = -27i. Sum: 125 - 225i + (-135) - (-27i) = (125 - 135) + (-225 + 27)i = -10 - 198i.
