Respuesta :

The answer is the option d, which is: d) [tex] \frac{-77+21i}{130} [/tex]

The explanation for this problem is shown below:

1. Smplify the denominator and rewrite the numerator in this form:

[tex] \frac{7i}{7-2i-4-9i} \\\frac{7i}{3-11i} [/tex]

2. Multiply the denominator and the numerator by the conjugated [tex] (3+11i) [/tex] and simplify the expression, as following:

[tex] \frac{7i(3+11i)}{(3-11i)(3+11i)} \\ \frac{21i+77i^{2}}{121+9} \\ \frac{-77+21i}{130} [/tex]

3. As you can see, you obtain the expression shown in the option mentioned above.
