Answer

$\frac{6073}{7813}+\frac{62}{7813}\ i\approx 0.777+0.008 i$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \frac{2.5+6.4 i}{3.3+8.2 i}. \end{equation} First eliminate the decimal and rationalize the denominator. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \frac{2.5+6.4 i}{3.3+8.2 i}&= \frac{(2.5+6.4 i)}{(3.3+8.2 i)}\cdot \frac{10}{10}\\ & = \frac{(25+64 i)}{(33+82 i)}\cdot \frac{(33-82i)}{(33-82i)}\\ &= \frac{25(33-82i)+64i (33-82i)}{33^2+82^2}\\ &= \frac{825-2050i+2112i+5248}{7813}\\ &= \frac{6073}{7813}+\frac{62}{7813}\ i\\ &\approx 0.777+0.008 i. \end{aligned} \end{equation} The answer is: \begin{equation} \frac{6073}{7813}+\frac{62}{7813}\ i\approx 0.777+0.008 i. \end{equation}
