Writing Quotient of Complex Numbers in Standard Form
In this lesson, you will learn how to write the quotient of complex numbers in standard form. To start, you’ll need to multiply by the conjugate of the denominator, while also multiplying the numerator by the same conjugate. By doing this, you’ll ensure that the fraction remains pure. Once you’ve multiplied everything out, you’ll need to simplify and combine like terms. Finally, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor to get your final answer in standard form.
How to write the quotient of complex numbers in standard form
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
