| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3-2i \right) = -3+2i $$Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3+2i \right) = -3-2i $$ |
| ② | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{x-3+2i}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x-3-2i\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{x-3+2i}\right) \cdot \left( x-3-2i\right) = \\ = x^2-3x -\cancel{2ix}-3x+9+ \cancel{6i}+ \cancel{2ix} -\cancel{6i}-4i^2 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ x^2 \color{blue}{-3x} \, \color{red}{ -\cancel{2ix}} \, \color{blue}{-3x} +9+ \, \color{orange}{ \cancel{6i}} \,+ \, \color{red}{ \cancel{2ix}} \, \, \color{orange}{ -\cancel{6i}} \,-4i^2 = -4i^2+x^2 \color{blue}{-6x} +9 $$ |
