Rationalize the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have: \[\frac{\sqrt{-36}}{(2-3i)(3+2i)}=\frac{6i}{6+4i-9i-6i^2}=\frac{6i}{6+4i-6(-1)}=\frac{6i}{6+4i}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{6i}{5-i}\times\frac{5+i}{5+i}=\frac{-6+30i}{26}=\frac{-3+15i}{13}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

2-3i+3+2i=5-i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj is that the final answer?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got something diferent

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That's because you did not pay attention to the fact that the denominator said + and not x. Also you did not rationalize the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHH right sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the options

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Why did you post the list of answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because I was showing the options. I dont see urs

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The very first thing I posted contains the answer. Did you even look at it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaah. Hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok sorry I wasnt looking correctly ! Thnks so much

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more thing! When your doing descending order...do u do it from the numbers highest to low or exponents highest to low

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

high to low descending means go down as in, "The debutante descended the spiral staircase."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah so thats with numbers not exponent correct?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

exponents.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Not coefficients

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm ok so lets say 14f^3 +^3f^2 -6f^8 (just made it up) U get -6f^8 +14f^3 +3f^2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If you want to put it in descending order that is what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok cool thanks
