In Exercises 21–28, divide and express the result in standard form.


3 / 4+i

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the given expression to simplify: \(\frac{3}{4+i}\).
To express the result in standard form (a + bi), multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. The complex conjugate of \(4+i\) is \(4 - i\).
Multiply numerator and denominator by \(4 - i\): \(\frac{3}{4+i} \times \frac{4 - i}{4 - i} = \frac{3(4 - i)}{(4+i)(4 - i)}\).
Simplify the denominator using the difference of squares formula: \((4+i)(4 - i) = 4^2 - (i)^2 = 16 - (-1) = 16 + 1 = 17\).
Expand the numerator: \(3(4 - i) = 12 - 3i\). So the expression becomes \(\frac{12 - 3i}{17}\). Finally, separate into real and imaginary parts: \(\frac{12}{17} - \frac{3}{17}i\).

Complex Numbers and Standard Form

Complex numbers are expressed in the form a + bi, where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part. The standard form makes it easier to perform arithmetic operations and interpret the number geometrically on the complex plane.

Complex Conjugate

The complex conjugate of a number a + bi is a - bi. Multiplying by the conjugate removes the imaginary component in the denominator, resulting in a real number denominator, which is essential for simplifying complex fractions.
