STEP 1

What is this asking? We've got to multiply some complex numbers and simplify an expression involving a complex number!
One of the multiplications is a special case we should watch out for. Watch out! Remember that i2=1i^2 = -1, not just ii!
Also, complex number multiplication distributes just like regular multiplication.

STEP 2

1. Multiply the first expression.
2. Simplify the given expression.
3. Multiply the third expression and find the matching answer.

STEP 3

Let's **distribute** the terms of the first expression, just like we would with any two binomials: (3+2i)(2+6i)=3(2+6i)+2i(2+6i)(3 + 2i)(2 + 6i) = 3 \cdot (2 + 6i) + 2i \cdot (2 + 6i).
This is because multiplication distributes over addition.

STEP 4

Now, let's multiply each term: 32=63 \cdot 2 = \mathbf{6}, 36i=18i3 \cdot 6i = \mathbf{18i}, 2i2=4i2i \cdot 2 = \mathbf{4i}, and 2i6i=12i22i \cdot 6i = \mathbf{12i^2}.

STEP 5

Putting it all together, we have 6+18i+4i+12i26 + 18i + 4i + 12i^2.
Combining like terms, we get 6+22i+12i26 + 22i + 12i^2.

STEP 6

Remember that i2=1i^2 = -1, so we can replace 12i212i^2 with 12(1)=1212(-1) = \mathbf{-12}.
Our expression becomes 6+22i126 + 22i - 12.

STEP 7

Finally, combine the real parts to get 6+22i\mathbf{-6 + 22i}.
Boom!

STEP 8

We need to simplify 5(23i)5(2 - 3i).
We **distribute** the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
This gives us 5253i5 \cdot 2 - 5 \cdot 3i.

STEP 9

Multiplying gives us 1015i\mathbf{10 - 15i}.
That's it for this one!

STEP 10

We have (4+5i)(45i)(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i).
Distributing gives us 4(45i)+5i(45i)4(4 - 5i) + 5i(4 - 5i).

STEP 11

Multiplying each term out gives us 44=164 \cdot 4 = \mathbf{16}, 4(5i)=20i4 \cdot (-5i) = \mathbf{-20i}, 5i4=20i5i \cdot 4 = \mathbf{20i}, and 5i(5i)=25i25i \cdot (-5i) = \mathbf{-25i^2}.

STEP 12

Putting it all together, we have 1620i+20i25i216 - 20i + 20i - 25i^2.
Notice that 20i-20i and 20i20i add to zero, leaving us with 1625i216 - 25i^2.

STEP 13

Since i2=1i^2 = -1, we have 1625(1)=16+2516 - 25(-1) = 16 + 25.

STEP 14

Adding gives us 41\mathbf{41}.
This matches answer choice *c*, 1625i216 - 25i^2.

STEP 15

1. 6+22i-6 + 22i
2. 1015i10 - 15i
3. c
