Multiply by the complex conjugate of the denominator.
Distributive Property of Multiplication
Substitute -1 for i^2.
Combine like terms.
Given: \( \frac{8 - 3i}{2 - 6i} \)
Multiply by the complex conjugate of the denominator: \( \frac{8 - 3i}{2 - 6i} \times \frac{2 + 6i}{2 + 6i} \)
Distributive Property of Multiplication: \( \frac{(8 - 3i)(2 + 6i)}{(2 - 6i)(2 + 6i)} \)
Substitute \(-1\) for \(i^2\): \( \frac{16 + 48i + 6i - 18(-1)}{4 + 12i - 12i - 36(-1)} \)
Combine like terms: \( \frac{16 + 54i + 18}{4 + 36} = \frac{34 + 54i}{40} = \frac{17 + 27i}{20} \)
