Answer
2.5-2.5i
Work Step by Step
Multiplying by the conjugate, we find:
$$5(1-i)\times (.5)$$
For imaginary numbers, we know that standard form is $a\pm bi$, where $a$ is the real part and $b$ is the imaginary part. We also know that $i^2=-1$. Thus, we simplify the expression until it is in standard form to obtain:
$$2.5-2.5i$$
