OpenStudy (danjs):
(3 + 15i )/(3 + 15i)
recall i^2 = -1

OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\frac{ 5 }{ (3-15i )}*\frac{ (3 + 15i) }{ (3 + 15i) } =\]

You don't want an imaginary number in the bottom, so switch the sign and multiply by the conjugate thing

oa ya but how does that equal to a fraction \[\frac{ 5 }{ 78 } -\frac{ 25 }{ 78}i\] \[\frac{ 5 }{ 78 } +\frac{ 25 }{ 78}i\] \[-\frac{ 5 }{ 78 } +\frac{ 25 }{ 78}i\] \[-\frac{ 5 }{ 78 } -\frac{ 25 }{ 78}i\] these are my choices

\[\frac{ 5(3+15i) }{ (3-15i)(3+15i) }=\]

remember i^2 = -1

OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\frac{ 5(3+15i) }{ (3-15i)(3+15i) }= \frac{ 15 + 75 i }{9 -15i + 15i -225*(-1) } =\]

234 sorry
11 years ago
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\frac{ 15 + 75i }{ 234 } = \frac{ 15 }{ 234 } + \frac{ 75i }{ 234 }\]
