| ① | Find $ \left(2+i\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A + B) = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 $$where $ A = 2 $ and $ B = i $. $$ \left(2+i\right)^3 = 2^3+3 \cdot 2^2 \cdot i + 3 \cdot 2 \cdot i^2+i^3 = 8+12i+6i^2+i^3 $$ |
| ② | $$ 6i^2 = 6 \cdot (-1) = -6 $$ |
| ③ | $$ i^3 = \color{blue}{i^2} \cdot i =
( \color{blue}{-1}) \cdot i =
- \, i $$ |
| ④ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{12i} \color{blue}{-i} \color{red}{-6} + \color{red}{8} = \color{blue}{11i} + \color{red}{2} $$ |
