Carnegie Learning Algebra II Student Skills Practice 1st Edition Chapter 2 Exercise 2.6 Skills Practice Page 310 Exercise 26 Answer
Given: The complex number z=−1+5i/1−4i
To Calculate: Each quotient
From the given data z=−1+5i/1−4i
we get
a=−1
b=5
c=1
d=−4
We know the formula a+I b/c+id
=ac+bd/c2+d2+i{bc−ad/c2+d2}
sub the above found values in the formula =(−1)(1)+(5)(−4)/12+(−4)2+i{(5)(1)−(−1)(−4)/12+(−4)2}
=−1−20/17+i5−4/17
=−21/17+i{1/17}
Hence the solution for the given complex number is −21/17+i{1/17}

We are given: 6−3i/2−i
We are required to calculate the quotient.
We will multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator and simplify the equation.
Given: 6−3i/2−i
The complex conjugate of the denominator is 2+i.
Multiplying and dividing this, we get
6−3i/2−i×2+I/2+i
=(6−3i)(2+i)/22−i2
=12−6i+6i−3i2/2−(−1)
=12−3(−1)/2+1
=12+3/3
=15/3
=5
The quotient of 6−3i/2−i is 5

We are given: 4−2i/−1+2i
We are required to calculate the quotient.
We will multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator and simplify the equation.
Given: 4−2i/−1+2i
The complex conjugate of the denominator is: −1−2i.
Multiplying and dividing this, we get
4−2i/−1+2i×−1−2i/−1−2i
=(4−2i)(−1−2i)/(−1)2−(2i)2
=−4+2i−8i+4i2/1−2i2
=−4−6i−4/1+2
=−8−6i/3
The quotient of 4−2i/−1+2i is −8−6i/3.
