2. Solution Steps

Problem 24: 3i(2+2i)3i(2+2i)
We distribute the 3i3i across the terms in the parentheses:
3i(2)+3i(2i)=6i+6i23i(2) + 3i(2i) = 6i + 6i^2
Since i2=1i^2 = -1, we have:
6i+6(1)=6+6i6i + 6(-1) = -6 + 6i
Problem 28: 5+2i4i\frac{5+2i}{4i}
To get rid of ii in the denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 4i4i, which is 4i-4i:
5+2i4i4i4i=20i8i216i2=20i8(1)16(1)=820i16\frac{5+2i}{4i} \cdot \frac{-4i}{-4i} = \frac{-20i - 8i^2}{-16i^2} = \frac{-20i - 8(-1)}{-16(-1)} = \frac{8 - 20i}{16}
Divide both terms in numerator by 8, and denominator by 8 to get:
152i2=1252i\frac{1 - \frac{5}{2}i}{2} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2}i
Problem 29: 3i2+i\frac{3i}{-2+i}
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 2+i-2+i, which is 2i-2-i:
3i2+i2i2i=6i3i24i2=6i3(1)4(1)=36i5=3565i\frac{3i}{-2+i} \cdot \frac{-2-i}{-2-i} = \frac{-6i - 3i^2}{4 - i^2} = \frac{-6i - 3(-1)}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{3-6i}{5} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{6}{5}i
Problem 30: 32i43i\frac{3-2i}{4-3i}
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 43i4-3i, which is 4+3i4+3i:
32i43i4+3i4+3i=(32i)(4+3i)(43i)(4+3i)=12+9i8i6i2169i2=12+i6(1)169(1)=12+i+616+9=18+i25=1825+125i\frac{3-2i}{4-3i} \cdot \frac{4+3i}{4+3i} = \frac{(3-2i)(4+3i)}{(4-3i)(4+3i)} = \frac{12 + 9i - 8i - 6i^2}{16 - 9i^2} = \frac{12+i-6(-1)}{16-9(-1)} = \frac{12+i+6}{16+9} = \frac{18+i}{25} = \frac{18}{25} + \frac{1}{25}i
Problem 31: 752i\frac{7}{5-2i}
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of 52i5-2i, which is 5+2i5+2i:
752i5+2i5+2i=7(5+2i)(52i)(5+2i)=35+14i254i2=35+14i254(1)=35+14i25+4=35+14i29=3529+1429i\frac{7}{5-2i} \cdot \frac{5+2i}{5+2i} = \frac{7(5+2i)}{(5-2i)(5+2i)} = \frac{35+14i}{25 - 4i^2} = \frac{35+14i}{25-4(-1)} = \frac{35+14i}{25+4} = \frac{35+14i}{29} = \frac{35}{29} + \frac{14}{29}i

3. Final Answer

Problem 24:
6+6i-6 + 6i
Problem 28:
1252i\frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2}i
Problem 29:
3565i\frac{3}{5} - \frac{6}{5}i
Problem 30:
1825+125i\frac{18}{25} + \frac{1}{25}i
Problem 31:
3529+1429i\frac{35}{29} + \frac{14}{29}i
