  1. To do this, you combine the terms with an i and combine the terms with no i.

    Since there is only one term with no i, a = 5

    -(2/3)i + 2i = (-2/3)i + (6/3)i = (4/3)i

    So b = 4/3

    The answer is then

    5 + (4/3)i


  2. cant figure it out.  tryed

  3. To divide two complex numbers, multiply the quotient by

    the the form of ONE made from the complex conjugate of

    the denominator, namely (3- 2i)/(3 - 2i)

    That produces (5-2i)(3-2i)/(3+2i)(3-2i)

    which gives [ 15 -  10i - 6i + 4i²]/ [9 - 4i²]

    and that can be simplified by collecting like terms

    in the numerator and replacing all i² with -1

    to become [15 - 16i + 4(-1)]/[9 - 4(-1)]

    = (11 -16i)/13  = (11/13) -  (16/13)i

  4. I used the calculator to divide (5-2i) by (3+2i).

    0.846153846 - 1.230769231 i

  5. (5 - 2i)/(3 + 2i)

    Multiply this by: (3 - 2i)/(3 - 2i)

    [(5 - 2i)(3 - 2i)]/[(3 + 2i)(3 - 2i)]

    The denominator: (3 + 2i)(3 - 2i) = 9 + 2i - 2i - 4i^2

    Remembering that i^2 = -1:

    9 + 4 = 13

    The numerator: (5 - 2i)(3 - 2i) = 15 - 10i - 6i + 4i^2 = 11 - 16i

    (5 - 2i)/(3 + 2i) = (11/13) - (16i/13)
