simplify (-4+6i)/(2+7i)
Let's reduce: -4 + 6i2 + 7i
ⓘ To make the denominator real, multiply the numerator and denominator by its conjugate, since (a+bi)(a-bi) = a²+b²: -4 + 6i2 + 7i = (-4 + 6i)×(2 -7i)22 + 72
(-4 + 6i)×(2 -7i)22 + 72
ⓘ Powers are computed before multiplications, additions and subtractions. An integer power is a repeated product: 22 = 2×2 = 4, 72 = 7×7 = 49
(-4 + 6i)×(2 -7i)4 + 49
ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: 4 + 49 = 53
(-4 + 6i)×(2 -7i)53
ⓘ Expand by multiplying each term inside the parentheses: (-4 + 6i)×(2 -7i) = -4×2 -4×(-7)i + 6i×2 + 6×i×(-7)×i
-4×2 -4×(-7)i + 6i×2 + 6×i×(-7)×i53
ⓘ Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions: 4×2 = 8, 6×2 = 12■Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions. Two minus signs cancel out, the product of two negative numbers is positive: -4×(-7) = 28■Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions. A single minus sign does not cancel out, the product of a negative number by a positive number is negative: 6×(-7) = -42■Multiplying powers with the same base adds the exponents: i×i = i2
-8 + 28i + 12i -42i253
ⓘ Like terms are grouped by adding their coefficients: 28i + 12i = 40i■Multiplying by -1 gives the opposite: -42×(-1) = 42■i^2 = -1, so the powers of i reduce to 1, i, -1 or -i: i2 = -1
-8 + 40i + 4253
ⓘ The numerator and the denominator are computed before the division: -8 + 42 = 34
34 + 40i53
ⓘ A complex number is written in algebraic form a + b*i, a being its real part and b its imaginary part: 34 + 40i53 = 3453 + 4053×i
▶Simplified form:   3453 + 4053×i
The numeric value of: 3453 + 4053×i equals:
▷ ≈ 0.6415 + ≈ 0.7547i
