Write in Standard Form (-2-4i)/(-i)

$\frac{- 2 - 4 i}{- i}$

Step 1

Multiply the numerator and denominator of $\frac{- 2 - 4 i}{- i}$ by the conjugate of $- i$ to make the denominator real.

$\frac{- 2 - 4 i}{- i} \cdot \frac{i}{i}$

Step 2

Multiply.

Combine.

$\frac{(- 2 - 4 i) i}{- i i}$

Simplify the numerator.

Apply the distributive property.

$\frac{- 2 i - 4 i i}{- i i}$

Multiply $- 4 i i$ .

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{- 2 i - 4 (i^{1} i)}{- i i}$

Raise $i$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{- 2 i - 4 (i^{1} i^{1})}{- i i}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{- 2 i - 4 i^{1 + 1}}{- i i}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .
