Question
![The exercise shown is about dividing complex numbers. It presents the following problem:
Divide:
\[
\frac{6 + 6i}{2 - 3i}
\]
The task is to write the answer in standard form for a complex number, which is \(a + bi\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are real numbers.
There is a rectangular input box where you are expected to enter your answer. To the right of the input box, there is a toolbar with some icons, presumably for formatting or entering mathematical symbols.
At the bottom, there is a "Continue" button, likely to submit the answer.
To solve this, you would multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, \(2 + 3i\), to eliminate the imaginary part in the denominator. Then, simplify to present the answer in standard form.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F651c4844-d23e-42f9-bd70-0ed556641800%2Fdc1bffa8-685a-4e66-b42f-58be6aa6a536%2F20zjsyfm.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
