The expression `((x-i)(3+i)(i-1))/((1+i)(3-i))` has to be simplified.
`((x-i)(3+i)(i-1))/((1+i)(3-i))`
= `((x-i)(3+i)(i-1)(1 - i)(3+i))/((1+i)(3-i)(1-i)(3+i))`
= `((x-i)(3+i)(i-1)(1 - i)(3+i))/((1 + 1)(9 + 1))`
= `((x-i)(3+i)(i-1)(1 - i)(3+i))/20`
= `(-(x-i)(3+i)^2(i-1)^2)/20`
= `(-(x-i)(9 - 1 + 6i)(-1 + 1 - 2i))/20`
= `(-(x-i)(8 + 6i)(- 2i))/20`
= `((x-i)(16i + 12i^2))/20`
= `((x-i)(16i - 12))/20`
= `((x-i)(4i - 3))/5`
= `(4x*i - 4i^2 - 3x + 3i)/5`
= `(4x*i + 4 - 3x + 3i)/5`
The simplified form of `((x-i)(3+i)(i-1))/((1+i)(3-i)) = (4x*i + 4 - 3x + 3i)/5`
