Can you please help me simplify (1+4i)^2

−15+8i

Explanation:

First, you can expand the square of the bynomial:

(1+4i)2=1+8i+16i2

Since

i2=−1

the given expression becomes:

1+8i−16=−15+8i

1/5^2 = 7.56/45

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
