In this problem, we're being asked to multiply the two given monomials.
00:04
Remember, to do this, we need to multiply the coefficients and then add any of the exponents for the like basis.
00:10
So let's start with our coefficients.
00:12
Now remember, in front of that first term, you don't see the coefficient because it's imaginary 1.
00:17
So we first must multiply negative 1 times negative 2, which is positive 2.
00:23
Now we're going to combine the exponents for any like basis.
00:27
So let's first start with our a's.
00:28
We have a and a squared.
00:31
Remember, when you don't see an exponent, it's an imaginary one...
