Answer:


(28)/(61) -
(3)/(61) i

Explanation:

Given


(3+2i)/(6+5i)

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

The conjugate of 6 + 5i is 6 - 5i, thus

=
((3+2i)(6-5i))/((6+5i)(6-5i)) ← expand numerator / denominator using FOIL

=
(18-3i-10i^2)/(36-25i^2) → simplify using i² = - 1

=
(18-3i+10)/(36+25)

=
(28-3i)/(61)

=
(28)/(61) -
(3)/(61) i

Answer:

28 - 3i / 61

Explanation:

Though the answer above is correct, in order to fit the layout of the question, the fraction has to be condensed. If you insert the answer the way I typed it, it should be correct.

Hope this helps.
