Question

Divide: 5 + 2i by 3 + 4i.

Answer 1

1-2i

Explanation:

Divide: 5 + 2i by 3 + 4i.

Given data

5 + 2i by 3 + 4i.

We have the expression as

(5 + 2i)/(3 + 4i)

Rationalize the denominator

(5 + 2i)/(3 + 4i)* (3 -4i)/(3 -4i)

=(5*3-20i+6i-8i^2)/9-12i-12i+16i^2

=15-14i+8/9-16

=7-14i/-7

=1-2i
