Question 766269: Dear Sir/Madam,
Please help me with this equation: [(1)/(2z+i)]+[(1)/(2z-1)]=[(1)/(z+2i)] I know that I will be multiplying the equation by the least common denominator but how will I use the quadratic formula in arriving to the final answer? Thank you very much for your help and kindness.

---------
[(1)/(2z+i)]+[(1)/(2z-1)]=[(1)/(z+2i)]
-------
Multiply thru by (2z+i)(2z-1)(z+2i) to get:
-------
(2z-10)(z+2i) + (2z+i)(z+2i) = (2z+i)(2z-1)
------------------------------
2z^2 +4zi-10z-20i + 2z^2+4zi+zi-2 = 4z^2-2z+2zi-i
-----------------------------------------------------
4z^2 + 9zi -10z -20i -2 = 4z^2 -2z + 2zi -i
-----------------------------------------------------
7zi - 8z -19i -2 = 0
------
z(7i-8) = 2+19i
----
z = (2+19i)/(-8+7i)
-----------------------
Cheers,
