① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{7+9i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 7+4i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{7+9i}\right) \cdot \left( 7+4i\right) = 49+28i+63i+36i^2 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ 49+ \color{blue}{28i} + \color{blue}{63i} +36i^2 = 36i^2+ \color{blue}{91i} +49 $$ |
