To divide two complex numbers, multiply the quotient by
the form of ONE made from the complex conjugate of
the denominator, namely (3 + 2i)/(3 + 2i), so we have
(5+i)*(3+2i) / (3-2i)*(3+2i) which equals
(2i^2+13i+15) / (9-4i^2)
now that can be simplified by collecting like terms
in the numerator and replacing all i^2 with -1
to become
(2*(-1)+13i+15) / (9-4*(-1))
===========================================
(13i+13) / 13 is the answer!
==========================================
