Inverse and division of complex numbers. Four parts.

"}, "functions": {}, "advice": "\n \n \n

Division of two complex numbers can be performed by mutiplying both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.
Suppose that \\[ z = \\frac{a+bi}{c+di},\\;\\; c+di \\neq 0\\] then we have:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*}\n \n z&=&\\frac{a+bi}{c+di}\\\\\n \n &=&\\frac{(a+bi)(c-di)}{(c+di)(c-di)}\\\\\n \n &=&\\frac{(ac+bd)+(bc-ad)i}{c^2+d^2}\\\\\n \n &=&\\frac{ac+bd}{c^2+d^2}+\\frac{bc-ad}{c^2+d^2}i\n \n \\end{eqnarray*}\n \n \\]
Although this is a formula for the inverse, the best way to find these complex numbers is to remember to multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator.
