Generalize the patterns you noticed in part D to create a rule or identity to describe those patterns. For example, if you notice that every time you multiply a negative number by another negative number the result is positive, we can generalize this by saying (-a)(-b) = c, where a, b, and c are all positive real numbers.

I know it is probably to late for your answer but if you are on Solving and Reasoning with Complex Numbers: Tutorial in Edmentum, then the answer for part D on the first lesson activity is this word for word.

This equation generalizes the patterns seen in part D, where a and b represent real numbers:

(a + bi)(a − bi) = a2 + b2.

Hope this helps good luck
