PLEASE HELP ME!
Are you okay simplifying this to here? \[\frac{7i}{1+9i}\]
*There's a little bit more after this, but I can walk through the steps for the first part if you want.
yeah, I juse dont really remember what to do after this.
Do you know what a conjugate is? Like if I asked you what the conjugate of 1+9i is.
1-9i
Right! So, math teachers are kind of picky about how they want you to represent your expressions. You're not "supposed to" have square roots in the denominators of fractions, and since i is the square root of -1, we are technically supposed to make sure there aren't any i's in the denominator either. The best way to get rid of them is to multiply by the conjugate. \[\frac{7i}{1+9i} \frac{1-9i}{1-9i}\]
Multiply that and the i's in the denominator should drop out.
so 1 - 81 for the denom?
1+81
I was close... ahha -.-
I always mess up the signs
so the top is 7-63?
+ again. Sorry!
Oh, it's 7i also
I quit. -.- lmao ok
\[\frac{7i+63}{82}\]
THANKS! one more?
No worries. Sure :)
I have been doing math ALL day and this is the end!!! haha
Alright, be careful on this one. What do you have so far?
*Or, I guess, let me know if/when you get stuck
you distribute the 6 right? sorry my computer froze
First thing you should do is pull out the square root of negative 1 as i. Then yeah, you'll distribute after that.
-2sqrt6 + 4 sqrt 3? as the answer
@jabberwock
Close to what I got. Let me look it over again.
the sign? -.-
There should be an i on that 2sqrt6, I think. I also have the signs the other way around \[2\sqrt{6}i-4\sqrt{3}\]
thats not a choice
What are the choices?
