| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{1}{2} $ by $ i $ to get $ \dfrac{ i }{ 2 } $. Step 1: Write $ i $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \cdot i & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{i}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 1 \cdot i }{ 2 \cdot 1 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ i }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
