Answer

$-32+36i$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL Method and using $i^2=-1$, the given expression $ 4i(2+5i)(2-i) ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 4i[2(2)+2(-i)+5i(2)+5i(-i)] \\\\= 4i[4-2i+10i-5i^2] \\\\= 4i[4-2i+10i-5(-1)] \\\\= 4i[4-2i+10i+5] \\\\= 4i[(4+5)+(-2i+10i)] \\\\= 4i[9+8i] \\\\= 36i+32i^2 \\\\= 36i+32(-1) \\\\= 36i-32 \\\\= -32+36i .\end{array}
