for ryanSimply for the following quotient of complex numbers into the form a+bi-8-8i/1+2i
Hi,Thank you for requesting me.To simplify this, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the "complex conjugate" of the denominator. The complex conjugate is formed by changing the sign on the imaginary part.Therefore, the conjugate of "1 + 2i" is "1 - 2i"Multiplying the numerator and denominator by 1 - 2i gives:[(-8 - 8i)*(1 - 2i)] / [(1 + 2i)(1 - 2i)] = (-24 + 8i) / 5 = -24/5 + (8/5)iSolution: Thanks,Ryan
