When dividing complex numbers you must:Write the problem in fractional formRationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.You must remember that a complex number times its conjugate will give a real number.a complex number 2+2i. the conjugate to this is 2-i1. Multiply both together gives a real number.(2+2i)(2-2i) = 4 -4i + 4i + (-4i2) (and as i2 = -1) = 8To divide a complex number by a real number simply divide the real parts by the divisor.(8+4i)/2 = (4+2i)To divide a real number by a complex number.1. make a fraction of the expression 8/(2+2i)2. multiply by 1. express 1 as a fraction of the divisor's conjunction. 8/(2+2i)*(2-2i)/(2-2i)3. multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.(16-16i)/84. and simplify 2-2i
(1+i)3 = 1 + 3i - 3 - i = -2 + 2i This is a complex number, and therefore cannot be plotted on a Cartesian plane.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator ... [ root(2) minus i ]. This process is called 'rationalizing the denominator'.
The conjugate of a complex number can be found by multiplying the imaginary part by -1, then adding the "real" part back. (-2i) * -1 = 2i, so the conjugation is 7+2i
Using the quadratic formula, you get the complex answers of 1 + 2i and 1 - 2i
