Solve 1/-i

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

Evaluate

$$i$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both numerator and denominator by imaginary unit i.

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

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

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

Divide i by 1 to get i.

$$i$$

Real Part

$$0$$

Solution Steps

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

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

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

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

Divide i by 1 to get i.

$$Re(i)$$

The real part of i is 0.

$$0$$
