HI!!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\dfrac{\sqrt{-9}}{4 - 7i} - (6 - 6i) \)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\frac{\sqrt{-9}}{4+7i}\]??

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

To rationalize a denominator, multiply by a fraction which is the conjugate over the conjugate. Also, let's take care of the square root of the negative number.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\dfrac{\sqrt{-9}}{4 - 7i} - (6 - 6i) \) \(=\dfrac{3i}{4 - 7i} \times \dfrac{4 + 7i}{4 + 7i} - (6 - 6i) \) Do you follow so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am flowing

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now we actually do the multiplication.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(=\dfrac{3i(4 + 7i)}{(4 - 7i)(4 + 7i)} - (6 - 6i) \) \(=\dfrac{12i + 21i^2}{16 - (7i)^2} - (6 - 6i) \) \(=\dfrac{12i - 21}{16 + 49} - (6 - 6i) \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(=\dfrac{12i - 21}{65} - (6 - 6i) \)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(=\dfrac{12i - 21}{65} - \dfrac{65}{65}(6 - 6i) \) \(=\dfrac{12i - 21}{65} - \dfrac{390-390i}{65} \) \(=\dfrac{12i - 21- (390-390i)}{65} \) \(=\dfrac{12i - 21- 390+390i}{65} \) \(=\dfrac{-411 + 402i}{65} \) \(=-\dfrac{411}{65} + \dfrac{402}{65}i \)
