The multiplicative inverse is the fraction whose numerator
is 1 and denominator is the given complex number.
We'll
note the inverse as x:
(6-3i)*x =
1
We'll divide by (6-3i) both
sides:
x = 1/(6-3i)
Since it
is not allowed to keep a complex number to denominator, we'll multiply the ratio by the
conjugate of the complex number:
x =
(6+3i)/(6-3i)(6+3i)
We'll re-write the denominator as a
difference of squares:
(6-3i)(6+3i) = 6^2 -
(3i)^2
(6-3i)(6+3i) = 36 -
9i^2
But i^2 =
-1:
(6-3i)(6+3i) = 36 +
9
(6-3i)(6+3i) = 45
We'll
re-write x:
x = (6+3i)/45
x =
6/45 + 3i/45
We'll simplify and we'll
get:
x = 2/15 +
i/15
The multiplicative inverse of the
complex number 6 - 3i is 2/15 + i/15.
