Question
Simplify the expression
−ix5+(1+14i)x4+(−14−48i)x3+48x2
Evaluate
(x×1)(x−8)(x−6)(x(−i)(x−(−i)))
Remove the parentheses
x×1×(x−8)(x−6)x(−i)(x−(−i))
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
