Correct Answer
Choice B 24 plus 10 i \( (24 + 10 i) \) should be selected.
Explanation
To simplify open parenthesis 5 plus i close parenthesis squared, \( (5 + i)^2, \) we can expand the square using the distributive property (or the FOIL method) and then simplify.open parenthesis 5 plus i close parenthesis, squared, equals open parenthesis 5 plus i close parenthesis open parenthesis 5 plus i close parenthesis.
$$ (5 + i)^2 = (5 + i)(5 + i) $$
equals 25 plus 5 times i plus i times 5 plus i times i$$ = 25 + 5 \cdot i + i \cdot 5 + i \cdot i $$
equals 25 plus 5 i plus 5 i plus i squared$$ = 25 + 5i + 5i + i^2 $$
equals 25 plus 10 i plus i squared$$ = 25 + 10i + i^2 $$
We know that i squared equals negative 1, \( i^2 = -1, \) so substitute negative 1 \( -1 \) for i squared \( i^2: \) equals 25 plus 10 i plus open parenthesis negative 1, which equals 25 plus 10 i minus 1.
$$ = 25 + 10i + (-1) = 25 + 10i - 1 $$
equals 24 plus 10 i$$ = 24 + 10i $$
