%284%2Bi%29%2A%282%2B3i%29 Start with the given expression.


%284%29%282%29%2B%284%29%283i%29%2B%28i%29%282%29%2B%28i%29%283i%29 FOIL.


8%2B12i%2B2i%2B3i%5E2 Multiply.


8%2B12i%2B2i%2B3%28-1%29 Replace i%5E2 with -1. Note: i%5E2=-1.


8%2B12i%2B2i-3 Multiply.


5%2B14i Combine like terms.


So %284%2Bi%29%2A%282%2B3i%29=5%2B14i.
