Weekly Math Problem #58

Complex Numbers. Lots of people don't find it easy to work with real numbers (and I don't blame them). We're talking all of the major operations...plus others. Then finding out that there are "fake" or imaginary numbers can be very off-putting! 😨 (They're complex for a reason.) Nonetheless, they exist and we can do the same things with them that can be done with real numbers. Division is one of those operations.

To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:

        ✔️     Rationalizing the denominator
        ✔️     Understanding complex conjugates

     

WMP! #58 wants us to...

Happy solving!

Check back on Friday, October 8th for the solution, which will be posted below ⬇️.
