Are you sure the first problem is written correctly?
(3+2i)/(3-2i)
=[(3+2i)(3+2i)]/[(3-2i)(3+2i)]
= (3+2i)^2/[(3^2-(2i)^2)]
= [9+12i+(2i)^2]/(9+4)
= (5+12i)/13

1st: If you do the problem using long division you get
Quotient = a^2-b^2 and a Remainder of 2b^2/(a^2+b^2).
2nd: (3+2i)/(3-2i)
Multiply numerator and denominator by (3+2i) to get:
(3+2i)^2/(9+4)
=[9-4+12i]/13
=[5+12i]/13
=(5/13)+(12/13)i
