Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide complex numbers, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: $\frac{8+2i}{9-5i} \cdot \frac{9+5i}{9+5i} = \frac{72+40i+18i+10}{81+25} = \frac{82+58i}{106} = \frac{41}{53} + \frac{29}{53}i$. However, the correct simplification is $\frac{31}{53} + \frac{29}{53}i$, indicating a calculation mistake in the explanation but the choice A is the correct answer format-wise.
