Answer:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a squared + b squared = c squared. It is used to find out a side of a triangle if you already know the two others. C is always the H=hypotenuse, while the other two sides are a and b.

$(-2+\sqrt{-5})^2\implies (-2+\sqrt{-1\cdot 5})^2\implies (-2+\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{5})^2\implies (-2+i\sqrt{5})^2 \\\\\\ (-2+i\sqrt{5})(-2+i\sqrt{5})\implies +4-2i\sqrt{5}-2i\sqrt{5}+(i\sqrt{5})^2 \\\\\\ 4-4i\sqrt{5}+[i^2(\sqrt{5})^2]\implies 4-4i\sqrt{5}+[-1\cdot 5] \\\\\\ 4-4i\sqrt{5}-5\implies -1-4i\sqrt{5}$

let's recall that the conjugate of any pair a + b is simply the same pair with a different sign, namely a - b and the reverse is also true, let's also recall that i² = -1.

$\cfrac{6-7i}{1-2i}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by the denominator's conjugate}}{\cfrac{6-7i}{1-2i}\cdot \cfrac{1+2i}{1+2i}\implies \cfrac{(6-7i)(1+2i)}{\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{(1-2i)(1+2i)}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{(6-7i)(1+2i)}{1^2-(2i)^2}\implies \cfrac{6-12i-7i-14i^2}{1-(2^2i^2)}\implies \cfrac{6-19i-14(-1)}{1-[4(-1)]} \\\\\\ \cfrac{6-19i+14}{1-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{20-19i}{1+4}\implies \cfrac{20-19i}{5}\implies \cfrac{20}{5}-\cfrac{19i}{5}\implies 4-\cfrac{19i}{5}$
