Find the multiplicative inverse of the complex number √5 + 3i.
Question
Find the multiplicative inverse of the complex number √5 + 3i.
Solution
To find the multiplicative inverse of a complex number, we need to divide 1 by the given complex number.
Let's start by representing the given complex number as √5 + 3i.
To find the multiplicative inverse, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the given complex number.
The conjugate of √5 + 3i is √5 - 3i.
So, multiplying the numerator and denominator by √5 - 3i, we get:
(1 * (√5 - 3i)) / ((√5 + 3i) * (√5 - 3i))
Simplifying this expression, we have:
(√5 - 3i) / ((√5)^2 - (3i)^2)
Simplifying further, we have:
(√5 - 3i) / (5 - 9i^2)
Since i^2 is equal to -1, we can substitute it in the expression:
(√5 - 3i) / (5 - 9(-1))
Simplifying this expression, we have:
(√5 - 3i) / (5 + 9)
Finally, simplifying further, we get:
(√5 - 3i) / 14
Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of the complex number √5 + 3i is (√5 - 3i) / 14.
