1. Problem Description

The problem asks to express the given complex numbers in the form a+bia + bi, where aa and bb are rational numbers. We have six expressions:
(a) 21i\frac{2}{1-i}
(b) 3+i43i\frac{3+i}{4-3i}
(c) 3+ii\frac{3+i}{i}
(d) 1+i332i\frac{1+i\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-2i}
(e) x+yixyi\frac{x+yi}{x-yi}
(f) 2+3ii\frac{-2+3i}{-i}

2. Solution Steps

(a) 21i\frac{2}{1-i}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 1+i1+i.
21i=2(1+i)(1i)(1+i)=2(1+i)1i2=2(1+i)1(1)=2(1+i)2=1+i\frac{2}{1-i} = \frac{2(1+i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} = \frac{2(1+i)}{1 - i^2} = \frac{2(1+i)}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{2(1+i)}{2} = 1+i
(b) 3+i43i\frac{3+i}{4-3i}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 4+3i4+3i.
3+i43i=(3+i)(4+3i)(43i)(4+3i)=12+9i+4i+3i2169i2=12+13i316+9=9+13i25=925+1325i\frac{3+i}{4-3i} = \frac{(3+i)(4+3i)}{(4-3i)(4+3i)} = \frac{12 + 9i + 4i + 3i^2}{16 - 9i^2} = \frac{12 + 13i - 3}{16 + 9} = \frac{9+13i}{25} = \frac{9}{25} + \frac{13}{25}i
(c) 3+ii\frac{3+i}{i}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by i-i (or the conjugate i-i).
3+ii=(3+i)(i)i(i)=3ii2i2=3i+11=13i\frac{3+i}{i} = \frac{(3+i)(-i)}{i(-i)} = \frac{-3i - i^2}{-i^2} = \frac{-3i + 1}{1} = 1 - 3i
(d) 1+i332i\frac{1+i\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-2i}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 3+2i\sqrt{3}+2i.
1+i332i=(1+i3)(3+2i)(32i)(3+2i)=3+2i+3i+2i2334i2=3+5i233+4=3+5i7=37+57i\frac{1+i\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-2i} = \frac{(1+i\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{3}+2i)}{(\sqrt{3}-2i)(\sqrt{3}+2i)} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 2i + 3i + 2i^2\sqrt{3}}{3 - 4i^2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 5i - 2\sqrt{3}}{3 + 4} = \frac{-\sqrt{3} + 5i}{7} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7} + \frac{5}{7}i
(e) x+yixyi\frac{x+yi}{x-yi}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is x+yix+yi.
x+yixyi=(x+yi)(x+yi)(xyi)(x+yi)=x2+2xyi+y2i2x2y2i2=x2y2+2xyix2+y2=x2y2x2+y2+2xyx2+y2i\frac{x+yi}{x-yi} = \frac{(x+yi)(x+yi)}{(x-yi)(x+yi)} = \frac{x^2 + 2xyi + y^2i^2}{x^2 - y^2i^2} = \frac{x^2 - y^2 + 2xyi}{x^2 + y^2} = \frac{x^2 - y^2}{x^2 + y^2} + \frac{2xy}{x^2 + y^2}i
(f) 2+3ii\frac{-2+3i}{-i}
To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by ii.
2+3ii=(2+3i)(i)(i)(i)=2i+3i2i2=2i31=32i\frac{-2+3i}{-i} = \frac{(-2+3i)(i)}{(-i)(i)} = \frac{-2i + 3i^2}{-i^2} = \frac{-2i - 3}{1} = -3 - 2i

3. Final Answer

(a) 1+i1 + i
(b) 925+1325i\frac{9}{25} + \frac{13}{25}i
(c) 13i1 - 3i
(d) 37+57i-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{7} + \frac{5}{7}i
(e) x2y2x2+y2+2xyx2+y2i\frac{x^2 - y^2}{x^2 + y^2} + \frac{2xy}{x^2 + y^2}i
(f) 32i-3 - 2i
