Question

Could somebody please walk me through this problem?...
(3-3i) divided by / (3+4i)

Answer 1

Well first you need all like terms together correct?
What I would personally do is just make the i values equal

Answer 2

Wouldn't I do that by multiplying the left side by the right side?

Answer 3

Like say the equation is this\[\frac{ 3-3i }{3+4i }\]

Answer 4

It is that (:

Answer 5

You should try getting the equation to eliminate the i

Answer 6

So multiply the numerator by the denominator?

Answer 7

Yes try that

Answer 8

Multiply the entire division by the denominator so as to eliminate it

Answer 9

So.... 9-12i?

Answer 12

Then it comes out 0?

Answer 13

Wouldn't the answer be 9-12i?

Answer 14

No?

Answer 15

I have options...
\[\frac{ (21-21i) }{ 7 }\]

Answer 16

isnt the equation \[9+12i+9i-12i\]

Answer 17

\[\frac{ (3-21i) }{ 7 }\]

Answer 18

\[\frac{ (-3-21i) }{ 25 }\]

Answer 19

or...

Answer 20

\[\frac{ (3-21i) }{ 25 }\]

Answer 21

How are you getting this?

Answer 22

Listen, after multiplying the bottom of this division by itself it gets eliminated so the bottom is no longer there.

Answer 23

Then you just multiply the top by what you multiplied the bottom with and there you FOIL

Answer 24

Those are the options I have to choose from.

Answer 25
