Answer

$\dfrac{11}{61}+\dfrac{60i}{61}$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator, the expression $ \dfrac{6+5i}{6-5i} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{6+5i}{6-5i} \cdot \dfrac{6+5i}{6+5i} \\\\= \dfrac{6(6)+6(5i)+5i(6)+5i(5i)}{(6)^2-(5i)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{36+30i+30i+25i^2}{36-25i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{36+60i+25(-1)}{36-25(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{11+60i}{61} \\\\= \dfrac{11}{61}+\dfrac{60i}{61} .\end{array}
