If z=4+i, what is 1/z? (in the form a+bi)

1/z =1/(4+i) Multiply both top and bottom by the complex conjugate, z* = 4 - i, 1/z = (4-i)/((4+i)(4-i)) = (4-i)/(16+4i-4i-i2) = (4-i)/17 ans: 4/17 - i/17

How do I find the limit as x-->infinity of (4x^2+5)/(x^2-6)?


Simplify fully the expression ( 7x^2 + 14x ) / ( 2x + 4 )


Work out the coordinates for the stationary point of y = x^2 + 3x + 4


(x+4)((x^2) - kx - 5) is expanded and simplified. The coefficient of the x^2 term twice the coefficient of the x term. Work out the value of k.
