How would I solve 2i/(1+i) ? I know the answer is 1+i but I don't know how to get there. 2i ------ 1 + i 2i(1 - i) ----------------- {multiplied top and bottom by conjugate of denominator} (1 + i)(1 - i) 2i - 2i² ----------------- {used distributive property on top and foil method on bottom} 1 - i² 2i - 2(-1) ------------------ {in imaginary numbers, i² is -1} 1 - (-1) 2i + 2 --------- {simplified on top and bottom} 1 + 1 2(i + 1) ------------ {factored 2 out of top} 2 = i + 1 {cancelled the 2's} = 1 + i {flipped around} © Algebra House
