STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are dealing with complex numbers, where ii is the imaginary unit with the property i=1i^{} = -1. . The operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication apply to complex numbers in the same way as they do to real numbers.

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the square of (72i)(7-2i). We can do this by multiplying the complex number by itself.
(72i)2=(72i)×(72i)(7-2i)^{2} = (7-2i) \times (7-2i)

STEP 3

Now, let's expand the expression using the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
(72i)×(72i)=7×7+7×(2i)+(2i)×7+(2i)×(2i)(7-2i) \times (7-2i) =7 \times7 +7 \times (-2i) + (-2i) \times7 + (-2i) \times (-2i)

STEP 4

implify the expression by performing the multiplication.
(72i)×(72i)=4914i14i+4(7-2i) \times (7-2i) =49 -14i -14i +4

STEP 5

Combine like terms.
(72i)×(72i)=5328i(7-2i) \times (7-2i) =53 -28i

STEP 6

Now, we have the simplified form of (2i)2(-2i)^{2}. Next, we need to subtract (2512i)(25-12i) from (5328i)(53 -28i).
(5328i)(2512i)(53 -28i) - (25-12i)

STEP 7

istribute the negative sign to both terms in the parentheses.
(5328i)25+12i(53 -28i) -25 +12i

STEP 8

Combine like terms.
(5325)+(28i+12i)(53 -25) + (-28i +12i)

STEP 9

implify the expression.
2816i28 -16iThe simplified form of the given expression is 2816i28 -16i.
