How do you simplify this expression?: -5+i/2i? I'm really confused by it. If somebody could help that would be great! :-)

Answer 1

The question didn't originally have brackets. :-) But I don't think the answer would change with or without the brackets would it?

Answer 2

(-5+i)/(2i) = -5/(2i) + i/(2i) = 5i/2 + 1/2

the answer would change without the brackets

Answer 4
