What is the completely simplified equivalent of 2/(5+i)?

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

namely, let's rationalize the denominator in the fraction, for which case we'll be using the <u>conjugate</u> of that denominator, so we'll multiply top and bottom by its <u>conjugate</u>.

so the denominator is 5 + i, simply enough, its conjugate is just 5 - i, recall that same/same = 1, thus (5-i)/(5-i) = 1, and any expression multiplied by 1 is just itself, so we're not really changing the fraction per se.

\bf \cfrac{2}{5+i}\cdot \cfrac{5-i}{5-i}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{(5+i)(5-i)}}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{\stackrel{\textit{recall }i^2=-1}{5^2-i^2}}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{25-(-1)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{2(5-i)}{25+1}\implies \cfrac{2(5-i)}{26}\implies \cfrac{5-i}{13}

the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 29 less than 5 times the smallest number. find the three numbers
allochka39001 [22]

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 5x - 29

Combine like terms.

3x + 3 = 5x - 29

Subtract 3x from both sides.

3 = 2x - 29

Add 29 to both sides.

32 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

16 = x

sin^2 x + 4 sinx +3       3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

cos^2 x                        1 - sinx


factor the numerator


(sinx +3) (sinx+1)       3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

cos^2 x                        1 - sinx


cos^2 = 1-sin^2x

(sinx +3) (sinx+1)       3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

1- sin^2x                       1 - sinx

factor the denominator

(sinx +3) (sinx+1)       3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

(1-sinx ) (1+sinx)                   1 - sinx

cancel the common term (1+sinx)  and (sinx +1)

(sinx +3)                       3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

(1-sinx )                           1 - sinx


reorder the first term

3+sinx                           3 + sinx

--------------------------  =  -------------------

(1-sinx )                           1 - sinx
