Answer :

Answer:

Its C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first step apply the distributive property or FOIL to find zw. Option C is correct.

Given that,
Let z = 19 + i and w = 4 + 10i.
The first step is to be determined.

What is a complex number?

The number that constitute of real and imaginary numbers are called a complex numbers. Complex number is represents as z = a + ib, where a = real number and bi = imaginary number

z = 19 + i and w = 4 + 10i
in order to find the product of complex numbers z and w following are the steps,
z.w =   ( 19 + i )( 4 + 10i )

Step ⇒ 1
Applying distributive law,
   z.w = 19 * ( 4 + 10i ) + i * ( 4 + 10i )
Step ⇒ 2
opening the parenthesis,
z.w = 19 * 4 + 19*10i + i * 4 + i * 10i
similarly, further steps are
z.w = 76 + 190i +4i + 10i²
since i² = -1
z.w = 76 + 194i - 10
z.w = 66 + 194i

Thus, in the first step apply the distributive property or FOIL to find zw. Option C is correct.
