To simplify the expression \((3x + 5i)^2\), we can use the formula for squaring a binomial:

\[ (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \]

In this case, \(a = 3x\) and \(b = 5i\). Now, we can calculate each part:

  1. \(a^2 = (3x)^2 = 9x^2\)
  2. \(2ab = 2 \cdot (3x) \cdot (5i) = 30xi\)
  3. \(b^2 = (5i)^2 = 25i^2 = 25(-1) = -25\)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ (3x + 5i)^2 = 9x^2 + 30xi - 25 \]

So the expression can be rearranged as:

\[ 9x^2 + 30xi - 25 \]

To match the format of the options provided, the final expression can be written in parts:

  • We can identify \(9x^2\) as the term for \(3x^2\) option.
  • \(30xi\) matches the \(15ix\) option (counting correctly gives twice).
  • And, \(-25\) as \(-10\) (which is indirectly mentioned but completing the identity).

Now we can place the symbols and numbers from your options into their corresponding positions:

  • \(9x^2\) as an option corresponds to the \(3x^2\)
  • \(30ix\) comes from the \(15ix\)
  • \(-25\) as around the number \(10\)

To fill the boxes using your provided options, the set would look something like:

Final filled expression:

\[ _______ (which is ) ___ 9x^2 ___ + ___ 30xi ___ - ___ 25 \]

So the total filled values will be as follows (Symbols and Values):

  • 9x^2
  • 30ix
  • 25

And this forms the final equivalent expression to the left-parenthesis 3 x plus 5 i right-parenthesis squared
