-4 / 5i
we need to use the complement, -5i. We will multiply the fraction -4 /5i on the top and bottom by -5i. This is essentially multiplying by one, but with some fun results (remember i2 = -1)
(-4)(-5i) 20 i 20 i 20 i
--------- = ----- = -------- = ---- = 4i / 5
(5i)(-5i) -25 i2 -25(-1) 25
6/ 3(1/3) Let's cube the top and bottom and see what happens and remember our fraction math.
(23)(33) (23)(33) (23)(33)
--------- = -------- = -------- = 8(32) = 8*9 = 72
(3(1/3))3 3(3/3) 3
Hope this helps
