simplify (2-i)/(3+i)

Solution

simplify

\frac{2 - i}{3 + i}

Solution

\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} i

Solution steps

\frac{2 - i}{3 + i}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3 - i}{3 - i}

= \frac{( 2 - i ) ( 3 - i )}{( 3 + i ) ( 3 - i )}

Simplify

\frac{( 2 - i ) ( 3 - i )}{( 3 + i ) ( 3 - i )} : \frac{5 - 5 i}{10}

= \frac{5 - 5 i}{10}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a + bi}{c} = \frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} i

= \frac{5}{10} + \frac{- 5}{10} i

Simplify

\frac{5}{10} + \frac{- 5}{10} i : \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} i

= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} i
