Answer

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}i$

Work Step by Step

Given: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+i}$ Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, as follows: $=\frac{1}{1+i}\times\frac{1-i}{1-i}$ Since, $i^2=-1$ and $i=\sqrt{-1}$ Thus, $=\frac{1-i}{1-(-1)}$ $=\frac{1-i}{2}$ $=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}i$
