Example Question #2 : Complex Numbers

Divide:

Answer must be in standard form.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator which is  resulting in

This is equal to 

Since  you can make that substitution of  in place of  in both numerator and denominator, leaving:

 

When you then cancel the negatives in both numerator and denominator (remember that , simplifying each term), you're left with a denominator of  and a numerator of , which equals .

Evaluate:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify. FOIL means to mulitply the first terms together, then multiply the outer terms together, then multiply the inner terms togethers, and lastly, mulitply the last terms together.

The imaginary  is equal to:

Write the terms for .

Replace  with the appropiate values and simplify.
