Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If z = a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, what is the conjugate of z?
Correct Answer: z̅ = a - bi
  • Step 1: Identify the complex number z, which is given as z = a + bi.
  • Step 2: Recognize that 'a' is the real part and 'b' is the imaginary part of the complex number.
  • Step 3: To find the conjugate of z, you need to change the sign of the imaginary part 'b'.
  • Step 4: Write the conjugate as z̅ = a - bi, where 'a' remains the same and 'b' changes sign.
