I know you do something with ( ) then set it equal to zero but the i's are getting me confused

OpenStudy (jordanloveangel):

If a is a root of a quadratic equation, that means that (x-a) is a factor of the equation. Thus, (4+i) being a root means that (x-(4+i)) is a factor. Similarly, that means that (x-(4-i)) is a factor. Thus, the equation is http://formula.algebra.com/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=%28x-%284%2Bi%29%29%28x-%284-i%29%29&x=0003 So, we need to multiply out the right hand side in order to determine the equation.

|dw:1416612503282:dw| is this right?

OpenStudy (catlover5925):

from 2 to 3 how did you get rid of the i ?
