I would appreciate any help with the following problem:
Edit: The final answer has 36omega^4 not 36omega^2 in the denominator.

You have several maths things to read up about!
Complex numbers is the first as The Electrician said. That is probably your biggest hurdle.

Then think about multiplying numerators and denominators by a constant.

As others have said, it's mostly about knowing how to handle complex numbers and complex expressions.

The general method is to compute the real and imaginary parts Re and Im, then finding the magnitude by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts, then finding the angle using the two argument inverse tangent function. The phase angle is typically less than 360 degrees but there are cases when you have to figure out if it could be greater than 360 degrees.

The general method to find Re and Im is to convert the denominator into a purely real number and after that you will be left with a real and imaginary part in the numerator and then you can easily separate into Re and Im. To convert the denominator, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator. Look up complex conjugate it is easy to calculate.
Actually all this is easy to calculate you just have to learn the procedure. The basic operations are like add, subtract, multiply, and divide you just are working with a "two part number" like 3+6j instead of a one part number like 6, 8, etc.

Do a couple you'll see how easy it gets.
