${(x + (3 + 5 i))}^{2}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(x)}^{2 - k} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} {(x)}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} {(x)}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} {(x)}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(x)}^{2} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(3 + 5 i)}^{2}$
