Answer:

17+6i

-----------

25

Explanation:

2+3i

---------

4+3i


We want to multiply by the complex conjugate of the denominator

4+3i has a complex conjugate of 4-3i

2+3i 4-3i

--------- * --------------

4+3i 4-3i


Lets multiply the numerator

(2+3i) ( 4-3i)

2*4 +4*3i -3i*2 - 3i*3i =

8 +12i -6i - 9i^2

Remember i^2 = -1

8 +6i -9(-1)

17 +6i


Lets multiply the denominator

(4+3i) ( 4-3i)

4*4 +4*3i -3i*4 - 3i*3i =

16 +12i -12i - 9i^2

Remember i^2 = -1

16 -9(-1)

25

Putting numerator over denominator

17+6i
