Answer

$-30i$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: $[5(\cos90^{\circ}+i\sin90^{\circ})][6(\cos180^{\circ}+i\sin180^{\circ}]$ Step 2: Using the product theorem, the expression becomes $5(6)[\cos(90^{\circ}+180^{\circ})+i\sin(90^{\circ}+180^{\circ})]$ Step 3: Simplifying, $30(\cos270^{\circ}+i\sin270^{\circ})$ Step 4: We know that $\cos270^{\circ}=0$ and $\sin270^{\circ}=-1$ Step 5: Substituting these values in the expression, $30(0+i(-1))$ Step 6: Therefore, the final answer is $-30i$.
