Homework Statement
Ive been given a question that requires an answer in polar form but the method I must use is the normal addition/subtraction of fractions. This throws me because I'm sure there is a simple method for the reciprocal of a complex number.
Q. 1/(13- 5i) - 1/(2-3i)
Homework Equations
where z = a + bi
i'm aware of how to change to polar for whole numbers and how to get where I want using the conjugate method but can't fathom the correct start point.
The Attempt at a Solution
I considered 1/13 - 1/5i using the rules of fractions but wasn't convinced.
The alternative was to convert straight to polar using 1 / 0degrees over the (13-5i in polar form)
