Express (1+2i)/(2-3i) in a + ib form.

Answer: (-4+7i)/13.

  • A (4+7i)/13
  • B (4-7i)/13
  • C (-4-7i)/13
  • D (-4+7i)/13

Correct answer: D. (-4+7i)/13

Explanation: Multiply by conjugate: (1+2i)(2+3i)/((2-3i)(2+3i)) = (2+3i+4i+6i<sup>2</sup>)/(4+9) = (2+7i-6)/13 = (-4+7i)/13. Numerator: (2-6)+(3+4)i = -4+7i. So (-4+7i)/13.

Argand Plane: z = a + ibReImz = a+iba (real part)b (imaginary part)θ = arg(z)|z| = length of the vector OZ = √(a²+b²); θ = angle OZ makes with the positive real axis

A complex number z = a+ib is plotted as a point (or vector from the origin) on the Argand plane, with the real part along the horizontal axis and the imaginary part along the vertical; its modulus |z| is the vector's length, and its argument θ is the angle from the positive real axis.
