$$ \begin{aligned}(5-2i)\cdot(3+5i)& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}15+25i-6i-10i^2 \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}-10i^2+19i+15\end{aligned} $$ | |
① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{5-2i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 3+5i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{5-2i}\right) \cdot \left( 3+5i\right) = 15+25i-6i-10i^2 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ 15+ \color{blue}{25i} \color{blue}{-6i} -10i^2 = -10i^2+ \color{blue}{19i} +15 $$ |
