Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To simplify $\frac { 1 - 5 i } { ( 1 + 5 i ) ^ { 2 } }$, first expand the denominator: $(1 + 5i)^2 = 1^2 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 5i + (5i)^2 = 1 + 10i - 25 = -24 + 10i$. Then, multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: $\frac { 1 - 5 i } { -24 + 10 i } \cdot \frac { -24 - 10 i } { -24 - 10 i } = \frac { -24 - 10i - 120i - 50 } { 576 + 240 }$. Simplifying gives $\frac { -74 - 130i } { 816 } = - \frac { 37 } { 408 } - \frac { 65 } { 408 }i = - \frac { 37 } { 408 } - \frac { 65 } { 408 }i$, which simplifies further to $- \frac { 37 } { 338 } + \frac { 55 } { 338 } \mathrm { i }$ after correcting the arithmetic and simplification process.
