chaise · Answer

Multiply the entire fraction by the complex conjugate.

Do you need me to show you how to do this?

chaise · Answer

Multiply by the complex conjugate of the denominator. Effectively what you are doing is multipying a/a =1. You must then multiply the denominators and the numerators together. You will get rid of your imaginary value in the denominator (remembering: i^2=-1) and then you can split the fraction into its component form.
