Powered by AITo simplify 5+i divided by 2+i, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator (2-i) to eliminate the imaginary part in the denominator. This results in (5+i)(2-i)/(4+1) = (11-4i)/5 = 11/5 - 4i/5 .
√-81 equates to a complex number because it involves the square root of a negative number, which includes the imaginary unit i. It simplifies to √81 * √-1 = 9i .
The expression −3−√−45 simplifies to −3 − √45 * √-1 = −3 − 3√5i by recognizing the imaginary unit and simplifying √-45 to 3√5i .
The expression (i^2 + i^8) simplifies to zero by recognizing that i^2 = -1 and i^8 = (i^4)^2 = 1, thus -1 + 1 = 0 .
The product (3+i)(1-4i) is distributed by multiplying each part separately: 3(1) - i(−4i) + 3(−4i) + i(1), resulting in 3 + 4 + (−12 + i) = 7 - 11i .
Subtraction of complex numbers involves both real and imaginary parts independently: (1-i) - (1+2i) results in (1-1) + (-i - 2i) = 0 - 3i = -3i, showcasing handling of both components, contrasting with real number subtraction which involves single values .
The simplified form of (3+2i) + (-1+4i) is 2 + 6i .
(6+7i)(6-7i) results in a purely real number because it forms a difference of squares: (6^2 - (7i)^2) = 36 - 49(-1) = 36 + 49 = 85 .
Squaring the imaginary unit 'i' results in -1 because by definition i = √-1, so i^2 = (√-1)^2 = -1. This property is used in simplifying complex numbers by replacing i^2 with -1 wherever it appears, allowing simplification of expressions such as powers of i .
Dividing by 'i' might require multiplying by its conjugate (-i) to eliminate the imaginary part in the denominator, effectively converting the division into a manageable form by rationalizing the denominator. It achieves a clearer, simplified expression, such as converting 1/i to -i .
