Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recognize that the expression involves a complex number because of the term \( \sqrt{-7} \). Recall that \( \sqrt{-7} = \sqrt{7}i \), where \( i \) is the imaginary unit with the property \( i^2 = -1 \). So rewrite the expression as \( (-3 - \sqrt{7}i)^2 \).
Use the formula for squaring a binomial: \( (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 \). Here, \( a = -3 \) and \( b = \sqrt{7}i \).
Calculate each term separately: \( a^2 = (-3)^2 \), \( -2ab = -2 \times (-3) \times (\sqrt{7}i) \), and \( b^2 = (\sqrt{7}i)^2 \).
Simplify each term carefully, remembering that \( i^2 = -1 \). This will help convert the imaginary squared term into a real number.
Combine the simplified terms to write the result in standard form \( a + bi \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are real numbers.
