Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

We are given:
(3+2i)/(1-5i). To find the quotient, simplify it. To do that, multiply by the conjugate of the denominator.

The conjugate of
1-5i is
1+5i.\

Thus, we have:


(3+2i)/(1-5i) \cdot(1+5i)/(1+5i) =(3+15i+2i+10i^2)/(1-25i^2)

Recall that
i^2 is simply -1.

Thus, we have:


(3+17i-10)/(1-(-25))=(-7+17i)/(26)

We can split this:


-(7)/(26)+(17)/(26)i
