A conjugate number refers to a complex number having both the imaginary and real parts of opposite signs and equal magnitude.

If you have a complex function in the form "a+ib", the (complex) conjugate is "a-ib". "Conjugate" is usually a function that the original function must be multiplied by to achieve a real number.
The conjugate of (84-3i) is (84+3i). This gives you a real number when multiplied.
For a complex number (a + bi), its conjugate is (a - bi). If the number is graphically plotted on the Complex Plane as [a,b], where the Real number is the horizontal component and Imaginary is vertical component, the Complex Conjugate is the point which is reflected across the real (horizontal) axis.
Their sum is real.
Complex numbers form: a + bi where a and b are real numbers. The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi If you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, the product will be a real number, such as (a + bi)(a - bi) = a2 - (bi)2 = a2 - b2i2 = a2 - b2(-1) = a2 + b2
