Answer:
10+11i

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each term inside the brackets and be aware that
i is just
\sqrt-1}. So, we are given
(3+2i)(4+i):

Lets start by multiplying the outer term :


3*4=
12

Now first inner :


3*i
=3i

Now second inner :


4*2i
=8i

Now last :


2i*i
=2i^2

Now, we must simplify the last term while keeping in mind
i is just
\sqrt-1}:


2i^2=2√(-1) ^2 = -2

Now add up all like terms :


(12+(-2))+(3i+8i) = 10+11i

And that's it!
