To divide the complex number (5 + 6i) by the conjugate of (2 - 3i), we will first identify the conjugate, then perform the division, and finally express the result in standard form.
Step 1: Find the Conjugate
The conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part. A complex number is typically written in the form:
a + bi
where (a) is the real part and (b) is the imaginary part. The conjugate is given by:
a - bi
The conjugate of (2 - 3i) is:
2 + 3i
Step 2: Multiply by the Conjugate
Now we will divide (5 + 6i) by (2 + 3i):
Step 3: Multiply by the Conjugate of the Denominator
To simplify the division, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is (2 - 3i):
Step 4: Calculate the Numerator
First, we will calculate the numerator:
Calculating each term:
