Divide the complex number 6-2i over 5+7i

Question

debbieg · Answer

Division of complex numbers is REALLY just a way to say "rationalize the denominator". do you know how to do that?

$$\large \dfrac{ 6-2i }{ 5+7i }$$

debbieg · Answer

SORRY, I should not call it "rationalize", this isn't a matter of irrational numbers, lol. But the process is similar.

debbieg · Answer

We could call it.... "real-ify the denominator".  :)

No can you show me step by step please

debbieg · Answer

Do you know what I mean if I say "complex conjugate"?

anonymous · Answer

very similar to the last one
and just to interrupt for a second, it should be "write in standard form as $a+bi$"

debbieg · Answer

For a complex number $a+bi$, the complex conjugate is the number $a-bi$ - it has the same real part and same imaginary part, with the opposite operator in the middle.

Okay

Just like @satellite73 showed you on this one. Same thing, just different numbers. http://openstudy.com/users/monibaby#/updates/5225393be4b0750826e26a3d
