The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \(\frac{14}{2 - \sqrt{10}i}\), we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the conjugate of the denominator**: The denominator is \(2 - \sqrt{10}i\). Its conjugate is \(2 + \sqrt{10}i\). 2. **Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate**: \[ \frac{14}{2 - \sqrt{10}i} \cdot \frac{2 + \sqrt{10}i}{2 + \sqrt{10}i} = \frac{14(2 + \sqrt{10}i)}{(2 - \sqrt{10}i)(2 + \sqrt{10}i)} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator using the difference of squares**: \[ (2 - \sqrt{10}i)(2 + \sqrt{10}i) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{10}i)^2 = 4 - (\sqrt{10})^2(i^2) \] Since \(i^2 = -1\), we have: \[ 4 - 10(-1) = 4 + 10 = 14 \] 4. **Calculate the numerator**: \[ 14(2 + \sqrt{10}i) = 28 + 14\sqrt{10}i \] 5. **Combine the results**: \[ \frac{28 + 14\sqrt{10}i}{14} \] 6. **Simplify the expression**: \[ = \frac{28}{14} + \frac{14\sqrt{10}i}{14} = 2 + \sqrt{10}i \] Thus, the expression \(\frac{14}{2 - \sqrt{10}i}\) simplifies to \(2 + \sqrt{10}i\). ### Final Answer: \[ 2 + \sqrt{10}i \]
