%286-i%29%2F%285%2B4i%29 Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the complex conjugate of %285%2B4i%29 which is %285-4i%29.
%286-i%29%285-4i%29%2F%285%2B4i%29%285-4i%29 Multiply using FOIL.
%2830-24i-5i%2B4i%5E2%29%2F%2825-20i%2B20i-16i%5E2%29 Simplify. Replace: i%5E2+=+-1
%2830-29i%2B4%28-1%29%29%2F%2825-16%28-1%29%29
