ReneThe six steps of complex division involve dividing two complex numbers in the form of (a + bi) by another complex number. The steps are as follows: 1. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. 2. Use the distributive property to expand the expressions. 3. Combine like terms. 4. Divide the real parts and the imaginary parts separately. 5. Simplify the result by combining the real and imaginary parts. 6. Express the final result in the form of a complex number (a + bi).

Do answers to complex number division need to be in standard form?
Not necessarily.
How do you enter complex fractions on ti inspire?
You can enter complex fractions on a TI-Inspire calculator, even though there is not a fraction button. Since a fraction bar essentially means to divide, so the division button is a fraction bar.
Can an odd number be divided by six?
With the exception of zero, anything can be divided by anything. Division by zero is undefined. Some odd numbers are divisible by 6, some aren't.
The sum of two complex numbers is always a complex number?
A "complex number" is a number of the form a+bi, where a and b are both real numbers and i is the principal square root of -1. Since b can be equal to 0, you see that the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. Similarly, since a can be zero, the imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. So let's take two complex numbers: a+bi and c+di (where a, b, c, and d are real). We add them together and we get: (a+c) + (b+d)i The sum of two real numbers is always real, so a+c is a real number and b+d is a real number, so the sum of two complex numbers is a complex number. What you may really be wondering is whether the sum of two non-real complex numbers can ever be a real number. The answer is yes: (3+2i) + (5-2i) = 8. In fact, the complex numbers form an algebraic field. The sum, difference, product, and quotient of any two complex numbers (except division by 0) is a complex number (keeping in mind the special case that both real and imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers).
How do you simplify a complex fraction?
You multiply the numerator and the denominator of the complex fraction by the complex conjugate of the denominator.The complex conjugate of a + bi is a - bi.
