Solve 1/-2i

$$\frac { 1 } { - 2 i }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}i=0.5i$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both numerator and denominator by imaginary unit i.

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

By definition, i^{2} is -1. Calculate the denominator.

$$\frac{i}{2}$$

Divide i by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}i.

$$\frac{1}{2}i$$

Real Part

$$0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both numerator and denominator of \frac{1}{-2i} by imaginary unit i.

$$Re(\frac{i}{-2i^{2}})$$

By definition, i^{2} is -1. Calculate the denominator.

$$Re(\frac{i}{2})$$

Divide i by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}i.

$$Re(\frac{1}{2}i)$$

The real part of \frac{1}{2}i is 0.

$$0$$
