| ① | Divide $ \, i \, $ by $ \, 2+4i \, $ to get $\,\, \dfrac{2+i}{10} $. ( view steps ) |
| ② | Multiply $4$ by $ \dfrac{2+i}{10} $ to get $ \dfrac{4i+8}{10} $. Step 1: Write $ 4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 4 \cdot \frac{2+i}{10} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{4}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{2+i}{10} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 4 \cdot \left( 2+i \right) }{ 1 \cdot 10 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 8+4i }{ 10 } = \frac{4i+8}{10} \end{aligned} $$ |
