Example Questions
Example Question #28 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
Simplify:
Multiply the conjugate of the denominator.
Solve the numerator. Remember that 
Solve the denominator. Simplify the terms with the 
Multiply these two terms together.
Divide the numerator with the denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #29 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
Simplify:
In order to simplify this expression, pull out a common factor of 
Recall that since 
Replace that term in numerator.
The expression becomes:
This expression is equal to 
Example Question #91 : Imaginary Numbers
Nothing can be simplified in either parentheses, so the first step is to distribute the negative sign to the second parentheses
Then, you combine similar terms remembering that terms with i cannot combine with those with no i
Example Question #32 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
Simplify:
In order to simplify this, we will need to identify the solution to each term with an imaginary power.
Recall that 
Rewrite and replace each term with the simplified forms.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #31 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
This problem should be foiled. Multiply the first two numbers of each parentheses, the outer numbers of the parentheses, the inner numbers of the two parentheses, and the last numbers of the parentheses.
Combine like terms
Simplify the imaginary numbers. I squared equals -1
Example Question #2051 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
First perform the multiplication on the coefficients and the i's
i cubed is equal to negative i
Example Question #33 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
Multiply the coefficients and the i's together
i to the fourth power is the same as the number one.
Example Question #32 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
This problem should be foiled. Multiply the first numbers of the parentheses, the outer numbers of the parentheses, the inner numbers of the parentheses, and the last numbers of the parentheses
Combine like terms
Simplify i squared to negative one
Example Question #35 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
This problem can either be solved by simplifying the numbers in the parentheses first or by distributing the 8i to all terms in the parentheses. I will show simplifying the parentheses first.
Remember that i squared can be simplified to negative one and like terms can be combined.
Now distribute the 8i to both terms of the parentheses.
Again, i squared can be changed to negative one
Example Question #33 : Basic Operations With Complex Numbers
Nothing can be simplified in the parentheses but the sign outside of each parentheses can be distributed to each number inside.
