a

b

2365+1165i\frac{23}{65} + \frac{11}{65}i

a)

2+3ii(4−5i)+2\frac{2+3i}{i(4-5i)} + 2 =2+3i4i−5i2+2= \frac{2+3i}{4i-5i^2} + 2 =2+3i5+4i+2= \frac{2+3i}{5+4i} + 2

Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator:

=2+3i5+4i×5−4i5−4i+2= \frac{2+3i}{5+4i} \times \frac{5-4i}{5-4i} + 2 =(2)(5)+(2)(−4i)+(3i)(5)+(3i)(−4i)52+42+2= \frac{(2)(5) + (2)(-4i) + (3i)(5) + (3i)(-4i)}{5^2+4^2} + 2 =10−8i+15i−12i225+16+2= \frac{10 - 8i + 15i - 12i^2}{25+16} + 2 =10+7i+1241+2= \frac{10 + 7i + 12}{41} + 2 =22+7i41+2= \frac{22+7i}{41} + 2 =2241+741i+8241= \frac{22}{41} + \frac{7}{41}i + \frac{82}{41} =22+8241+741i= \frac{22+82}{41} + \frac{7}{41}i =10441+741i= \frac{104}{41} + \frac{7}{41}i

The final answer is 10441+741i\boxed{\frac{104}{41} + \frac{7}{41}i}.

b)

12+3i+11−2i\frac{1}{2+3i} + \frac{1}{1-2i}

Rationalize each fraction:

=12+3i×2−3i2−3i+11−2i×1+2i1+2i= \frac{1}{2+3i} \times \frac{2-3i}{2-3i} + \frac{1}{1-2i} \times \frac{1+2i}{1+2i} =2−3i22+32+1+2i12+22= \frac{2-3i}{2^2+3^2} + \frac{1+2i}{1^2+2^2} =2−3i4+9+1+2i1+4= \frac{2-3i}{4+9} + \frac{1+2i}{1+4} =2−3i13+1+2i5= \frac{2-3i}{13} + \frac{1+2i}{5}

Find a common denominator (65):

=5(2−3i)65+13(1+2i)65= \frac{5(2-3i)}{65} + \frac{13(1+2i)}{65} =10−15i+13+26i65= \frac{10-15i + 13+26i}{65} =(10+13)+(−15+26)i65= \frac{(10+13) + (-15+26)i}{65} =23+11i65= \frac{23+11i}{65} =2365+1165i= \frac{23}{65} + \frac{11}{65}i

The final answer is 2365+1165i\boxed{\frac{23}{65} + \frac{11}{65}i}.
