Find the multiplicative inverse of each of the following:

(2 + 5i)


Given: 2 + 5i

To find: Multiplicative inverse


We know that,


Multiplicative Inverse of z = z-1



Putting z = 2 + 5i



Now, rationalizing by multiply and divide by the conjugate of (2+5i)




Using (a – b)(a + b) = (a2 – b2)




[ i2 = -1]





Hence, Multiplicative Inverse of (2+5i)is
