Question 1039080: I'm needing your help on the following:
For z = 8 - i and w = 1 - 2i, find z/w. That is, determine (8 - i)/(1 - 2i) and simplify as much as possible, writing the result in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. Show work.
I'm not sure where to begin here. Please help! :)

(8 - i)/(1 - 2i)
------------------
Multiply the NUM and DEN by the conjugate of the DEN, 1 + 2i

=
= (10 + 15i)/5
= 2 + 3i
