$0$

Work Step by Step

We substitute 1+i into x. $(1+i)^2-2(1+i)+2$ Take away the parenthesis for the second term. $(1+i)(1+i)-2-2i+2$ FOIL it. $1\cdot1+1\cdot{i}+i\cdot1+i\cdot{i}-2-2i+2$ $i\cdot{i}=-1$. $1+i+i-1-2-2i+2$ Group real and imaginary terms. $(1-1-2+2)+(1+1-2)i$ Add real and imaginary terms. $0+0i$ $0$
