\[28/61-(3 i)/61\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 3+2i }{ 6+5i } \times \frac{ 6-5i }{ 6-5i }\]

what jake is doin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiplying the top and bottom by the complex conjugate will allow you to eliminate the imaginary numbers in the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have 27i+(Something i dont know)/61 my answer but its not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the parentheses i dont know what is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Top: (3+2i)(6-5i) = 18 +12i -15i -10i^2 = 18 +10 - 3i = 28 - 3i Bottom: (6-5i)(6 + 5i) = 36 -30i + 30i -25i^2 = 36 + 25 = 51

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, 61, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Corrected: Top: (3+2i)(6-5i) = 18 +12i -15i -10i^2 = 18 +10 - 3i = 28 - 3i Bottom: (6-5i)(6 + 5i) = 36 -30i + 30i -25i^2 = 36 + 25 = 61 So overall, it's 28/61 - 3i/61 The whole idea when you have something like (a + bi) in the denominator is to multiply the top and bottom by (a - bi), leaving you a^2 + b^2 on the bottom, and putting the only imaginary numbers in the numerator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the very first post.

yeahh thanks both
