Question

Can someone help me solve this equation?

Answer 1

\[(x+(3+5i))^{2}\]

Answer 2

u mean the steps??

Answer 3

Well I know that I need to first distribute the x to the 3 and 5i but what would my 5i become when I distribute x to it..

Answer 4

yep so2=((3+5i)+x)
so actually it would be made this way 2(x+(3+5i))

Answer 5

Isn't that just my original equation?

Answer 7

you can "remove" the innermost parentheses to get:

(x + 3 + 5i)^2

=

(x + 3 + 5i)(x + 3 + 5i)

then use FOIl to expand the expression
