Simplify the denominator first, then rationalise by multiplying by its conjugate.

First simplify the denominator (2+3i)(4−3i)(2+3i)(4-3i):

(2+3i)(4−3i)=8−6i+12i−9i2=8+6i+9=17+6i,(2+3i)(4-3i) = 8 - 6i + 12i - 9i^2 = 8 + 6i + 9 = 17+6i,

using i2=−1i^2=-1 so −9i2=9-9i^2=9.

So the expression becomes 4+3i17+6i\dfrac{4+3i}{17+6i}. Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate 17−6i17-6i:

4+3i17+6i⋅17−6i17−6i=(4+3i)(17−6i)172+62.\frac{4+3i}{17+6i}\cdot\frac{17-6i}{17-6i} = \frac{(4+3i)(17-6i)}{17^2+6^2}.
