The standard form does not allow for complex numbers to be at the denominator.
The standard form is:

We'll have to get the complex number out of the denominator. For this reason,
we'll have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the
denominator: .



=

=

=

=
The standard form is:

=
=
