1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the expression (2+4)(1+9)(2+\sqrt{-4})(-1+\sqrt{-9}).

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the square roots of negative numbers using the imaginary unit ii, where i=1i = \sqrt{-1}.
We have 4=41=41=2i\sqrt{-4} = \sqrt{4 \cdot -1} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 2i.
Similarly, 9=91=91=3i\sqrt{-9} = \sqrt{9 \cdot -1} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{-1} = 3i.
Now substitute these values back into the expression:
(2+2i)(1+3i)(2 + 2i)(-1 + 3i).
Next, we expand the product using the distributive property (FOIL):
(2)(1)+(2)(3i)+(2i)(1)+(2i)(3i)=2+6i2i+6i2(2)(-1) + (2)(3i) + (2i)(-1) + (2i)(3i) = -2 + 6i - 2i + 6i^2.
Since i2=1i^2 = -1, we have 6i2=6(1)=66i^2 = 6(-1) = -6.
Combining the terms, we get:
2+6i2i6=26+6i2i=8+4i-2 + 6i - 2i - 6 = -2 - 6 + 6i - 2i = -8 + 4i.

3. Final Answer

8+4i-8 + 4i
