Find the quotient: %28-3+%2B+i%29%2F%28-8+%2B+2i%29
:
Multiply equation by the conjugate of the denominator;
%28-3+%2B+i%29%2F%28-8+%2B+2i%29 * %28-8-2i%29%2F%28-8-2i%29 = %2824%2B6i-8i-2i%5E2%29%2F%2864-4i%5E2%29%29 = %2824-2i-2%28-1%29%29%2F%2864-4%28-1%29%29 = %2824-2i%2B2%29%2F%2864%2B4%29 = %2826-2i%29%2F68 = %2813-i%29%2F34
