Write the expression in standard form. All steps please
5/3-15i
if this is \(\frac{5}{3}-15i\) it is already in standard form standard form is \(a+bi\) here \(a=\frac{5}{3}, b=-15\)
no its not like that
5 --- 3-15i
oh maybe \(\frac{5}{3-15i}\)
yes
can you show me step by step
multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator
the conjugate of \(5-15i\) is \(5+15i\) and you know that \((5-15i)(5+15i)=5^2+15^2\) you get \[\frac{3}{5-15i}=\frac{3}{5-15i}\times \frac{5+15i}{5+15i}=\frac{3(5+15i)}{5^2+15^2}\] as a start
than what?
@satellite73 ????????/
then you are basically done you compute \(5^2+15^2=250\) and \(3(5+15i)=15+45i\) and get \[\frac{15+45i}{250}\] or \[\frac{15}{250}+\frac{45}{250}i\] and then reduce the fractions
\[\frac{3}{50}+\frac{9}{50}i\] in standard form
thats not in the answer choices
\[\frac{5}{3-15i}=\frac{5}{3-15i}\frac{3+15i}{3+15i}=\frac{15+75i}{9+225}\]
\[(-15i)(15i)=-(i^2225)=225\]
Then simplify.
A B C D?
All the terms in my answer were positive.
so its B
