Use the conjugate of the denominator. (Recall that the conjugate of a+bis ab.)
We can multiply the expression by 53i53i.
44i5+3i(53i53i)=2020i12i+12i22515i+15i9i2=2032i+12i2259i2
Recall that i=1,so i2=1.
2032i+12(1)259(1)=201232i25+9=832i36=2989i.
Note that the answer is written in the complex number format a+bi.
