We have

 

 f(x) = [x - (-3+i) ]  [ x - (-3-i)]  =

 

[x + 3 - i] [ x + 3 + i ] =

 

                                                x + 3  - i

                                                x + 3 + i

                                            -----------------

                                                ix + 3i - i^2

                                   3x + 9        -3i

                         x^2  + 3x       -ix

                     ----------------------------------------

                         x^2   + 6x  + 9           -i^2   =      [i^2 = -1 ]

 

x^2 + 6x  + 9 - (-1)     =

 

f(x) =x^2 + 6x + 10

 

 

cool cool cool
