@dan815 @jim_thompson5910 @Nnesha help plz

Nnesha (nnesha):

first find common deniomantor

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's \(\Large \frac{4}{3i} + \frac{2}{5i}\) right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

denominator***(i nvr gonna spell this word correctly) :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yass @jim_thompson5910 and ok @Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 15i?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1423346241882:dw| yes right now what should go at the top ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind, i got the answer its -16/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-26/15i

Nnesha (nnesha):

a+bi form what does that mean ?? don't we have to multiply top and bottom by conjugate right ? @jim_thompson5910 ;(

Nnesha (nnesha):

srry 4 too late reply nat issues>,<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for ex. 2+3i, yass you have to multiply by the conjugate. n its ok cx

Nnesha (nnesha):

if we have 15i then we still have to multiply by conjugate

Nnesha (nnesha):

15i at the den.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yass because you cant have an i on the denominator , so the conjugate would be -15i.

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes -15i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx for the help cx

Nnesha (nnesha):

i didn't help chu :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you kinda did, cuz i didn't see that the i was at the bottom

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm oky ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would of have had (16/25)i
