Answer:

C and A

Explanation:

We require to rationalise the denominators of the expressions by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

given a + ib then conjugate is a - bi

note that i² = - 1

given


(4+i)/(3-1)

multiply numerator/denominator by 3 + i , the conjugate of 3 - i

=
((4+i)(3+i))/((3-i)(3+i)) ← expand numerator/ denominator using FOIL

=
(12+4i+3i+i^2)/(9+3i-3i-i^1)

=
(12+7i-1)/(9+1)

=
(11+7i)/(10)

=
(11)/(10) +
(7)/(10) i ← in the form a + bi

with a =
(11)/(10)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1)/(1+i)

multiply numerator/denominator by 1 - i , the conjugate of 1 + 1

=
(1-i)/((1+i)(1-i)) ← expand denominator

=
(1-i)/(1-i^2)

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

=
(1-i)/(2)

=
(1)/(2) -
(1)/(2) i ← in the form a + bi ( b is the imaginary part )

with b = -
(1)/(2)
