Algebra.Com's Answer #801060 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "I don't know how the other tutor got a square root into this problem.... \n" ); document.write( "The given expression is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "In mostly all applications, we don't want to leave an imaginary number in the denominator. We want to rationalize the denominator by multiplying by some power of i to make the denominator a real number. \n" ); document.write( "i^(4n) is equal to 1 for all integers n. So rationalize the expression by multiplying numerator and denominator by i^3, so that the exponent in the denominator is a multiple of 4. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
