Write the expression in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 2-15i }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I multiplied both the top and bottom by the denominators conjugate but got 4+30i/4+225i^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@study100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply top and bottom by (2+15i)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did, and I got 4+30i/4+225i^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i²=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z.z*=|z|², then it can't be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what raphael said :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the modulus of a+bi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, well I know i^2 is -1, but 4-225 equals -221, not -229 like my answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Modulus? Do you mean conjugate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1406606758719:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You made a minor sign mistake 4+30i / 2=4 - 225i^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember (ax+b)(ax-b)= (ax)^2 - b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the modulus of that number , the size of vector?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it a²+b²?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4+30i/4+225

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+2)(x-2) = (x^2 + 2x-2x -4) = x^2 -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then z.z*=[sqrt(15²+2²)]²=225+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example, that problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 229 }+\frac{ 30 }{ 229 }i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you both! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcomed :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are welcome
