find the following quotient and express the answer in the standard form of a complex number. -3+8i/-1+i
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply numerator and denominator by -1-i to get:
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "[(-3+8i)(-1-i)]/[(-1+i)(-1-i)]
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "= [3 + 3i -8i +8]/[1+1]
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "= (11-5i)/2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "= (11/2) - (5/2)i
