\[\frac{ 2 }{ 2-15i }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I multiplied both the top and bottom by the denominators conjugate but got 4+30i/4+225i^2

@study100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
multiply top and bottom by (2+15i)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did, and I got 4+30i/4+225i^2

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

Modulus? Do you mean conjugate?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no

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

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! :)
