Simplify the expression

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

\[\frac{ -6+\iota }{ -5+\iota }\]

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

those are "i"s

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{\text {u have to rationalize the denominator here}\\~\\ \dfrac{-6+i}{-5+i}\\~\\ =\dfrac{-6+i}{-5+i}\times \dfrac{-5-i}{-5-i}\\~\\ =\dfrac{30+6i-5i-i^2}{(-5)^2-i^2}\\~\\ =\dfrac{30+i+1}{25+1}\\~\\ =\dfrac{31+i}{26} } \end{align}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

bear in mind that \(\bf a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ (-5+i)(-5-i)\implies (-5)^2-(i)^2\implies 25-(i^2)\implies 25-(-1)\implies 26\)
