√-64/(7-6i)-(2-2i)

OpenStudy (alfie):

Would you please use the equation button, I can't understand much like this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{64}/(7-6i)-(2-2i)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{-64}/(7-6i)-(2-2i)\]

OpenStudy (alfie):

\[\frac{{\sqrt { - 64} }}{{7 - 6i}} - (2 - 2i)\] Like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the -(2-2i) is also in the denominator. I don't know how to do it

OpenStudy (alfie):

\[\frac{{\sqrt { - 64} }}{{7 - 6i - 2 - 2i}}\] Like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, except the entire denominator is like this... (7-6i)-(2-2i)

OpenStudy (agreene):

\[\frac{\sqrt{-64}}{(7-6i)-(2-2i)}=\frac{8i}{(7-6i)-(2-2i)}=\frac{8i}{5-4i}\] This can be expanded if you want.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8i/(5-4i)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what I got, but I can't have any "i"s on the denominator. So when simplified, it looked like this...\[-12i/5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that answer is not in the multiple choice. I think it has something to do with complex conjugates

OpenStudy (alfie):

You have to multiply for the complex conjugate. \[\large \frac{{{\rm{8i(5+ 4i)}}}}{{5 - 4i(5 + 4i)}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that helps

OpenStudy (agreene):

If you split the fractions, you will come up with the expanded form of: \[-\frac{32}{41}+\frac{40i}{41}\]
