Question is incomplete, complete question is given below;

For i = √−1 , what is the sum (7 + 3i) + (−8 + 9i ) ? √ is the square root symbol.

Answer:

A) −1 + 12i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[tex]i = \sqrt{-1 }[/tex]

We have to find the sum of[tex](7+3i)+(-8+9i)[/tex].

Solution,

Firstly we Substitute the the value of 'i' in given expression.

[tex](7 + 3\sqrt{-1}) + (-8 + 9\sqrt{-1} )[/tex]

On combining the like terms, we get;

[tex]7+(-8)+3\sqrt{-1}+9\sqrt{-1}[/tex]

On we use the addition property of equality and get;

[tex]-1+12\sqrt{-1}[/tex]

Since [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex] = i

Then we can say that;

[tex]-1+12\sqrt{-1}[/tex] = [tex]-1+12i[/tex]

Hence The sum of [tex](7+3i)+(-8+9i)[/tex] is  [tex]-1+12i[/tex].
