| ① | Find $ \left(3x-4i\right)^2 $ using formula. $$ (A - B)^2 = \color{blue}{A^2} - 2 \cdot A \cdot B + \color{red}{B^2} $$where $ A = \color{blue}{ 3x } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 4i }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(3x-4i\right)^2 = \color{blue}{\left( 3x \right)^2} -2 \cdot 3x \cdot 4i + \color{red}{\left( 4i \right)^2} = 9x^2-24ix+16i^2\end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | $$ 16i^2 = 16 \cdot (-1) = -16 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ -24ix+9x^2-16 = -24ix+9x^2-16 $$ |
