Student should already master binomial multiplication.
Binomial multiplication means taking two expressions with two terms each and ensuring that every term in the first binomial multiplies every term in the second. This is just the distributive property applied twice.
For any binomials:
(3 + j4)(2 + j5)
Multiply each term:
= 3*2 + 3*j5 + j4*2 + j4*j5
Then combine like terms.
FOIL is simply a memory aid for the four products created when multiplying two binomials:
First: 3*2 = 6 Outer: 3*j5 = j15 Inner: j4*2 = j8 Last: j4*j5 = j220 Combine: 6 + j23 + j220j = √ -1 j 2 = (-1) (1 / 2)* 2 j 2 = - 1
Binomial multiplication is just the distributive property:
(a + b)(c + d) = a(c + d) + b(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
You are ensuring that every term interacts with every other term, producing a complete expansion.

= NUMERATOR
Numerator after simplifying the constant = + j
IF THERE IS NO IMAGINARY NUMBER J = 0 ;
For example
100 / 2 - j 5 becomes
100 - j 0 / 2 - j 5
( + j ) ( + j ) conjugate
After simplification:

= DENOMINATOR
After simplification: 4 + ( -25 * - 1)
= 4 + 25 = 29
Denominator = Modulus of w =
Memory recall lesson learned about multiplication of exponent rule
j = √ -1 j 2 = (-1) (1 / 2)* 2 j 2 = - 1
-14/29 = -0.4828 real number part
and the imaginary part j 23/29 = j 0.7931
