Consider the complex rational number shown below. This exercise will walk you through the steps of rationalizing this number. To start, enter a "crazy one" in the blank using conjugates.
`(8+5i)/(2-i) * `
Next, distribute the multiplication and combine like terms, but DO NOT simplify any of the `i^2` terms.
Next, replace all `i^2` terms with `-1`, and combine like terms. This is the rationalized complex number.
What are the real and imaginary parts of the rationalized number?
Real Part =
Imaginary Part =
