Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-47,52\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the expression \((1-4i)^3 = a + ib\). Using the identity \((x-y)^3 = x^3 - 3x^2y + 3xy^2 - y^3\), we substitute \(x = 1\) and \(y = 4i\). \((1-4i)^3 = (1)^3 - 3(1)^2(4i) + 3(1)(4i)^2 - (4i)^3\) \(= 1 - 12i + 3(16i^2) - 64i^3\) Since \(i^2 = -1\) and \(i^3 = -i\), we have:…
