Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you're working on complex numbers in the form of , and the answers for parts (a), (b), and (c) seem to have been partially evaluated.
Let’s go through them step by step to check what went wrong:
Part (a):
We are given .
First, we expand: Since , we get: So, the correct answer for part (a) is , which looks correct.
Part (b):
We are given .
Distribute the : Since , we get: So, the correct answer for part (b) is , which also seems correct.
Part (c):
We are given .
We can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by to simplify: Since , this simplifies to: Thus, the correct answer for part (c) is , but your submission shows , which is incorrect.
