What kinds of denominators generate repeating decimals?

1 answer:

4 0

There are specific values of denominators that would yield a non-terminating decimal expansion. In other words, the decimal would be repeating. These denominators are multiples of 3. That could be 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and so on and so forth. For example, 1/3 = 0.333333, 1/6 = 0.166666, 1/9 = 0.1111, and so on and so forth.

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

Bezzdna [24]

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

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.

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