What is the usefulness of the conjugate and its effect on other complex numbers?
The conjugate of a complex number is the same number (but the imaginary part has opposite sign). e.g.: A=[5i - 2] --> A*=[-5i - 2] Graphically, as you change the sign, you also change the direction of that vector. The conjugate it's used to solve operations with complex numbers. When a complex number is multiplied by its conjugate, the product is a real number. e.g.: 5/(2-i) --> then you multiply and divide by the complex conjugate (2+i) and get the following: 5(2+i)/(2-i)(2+i)=(10+5i)/5=2+i
What is the product of the complex number a plus bi and its conjugate?
The product is a^2 + b^2.
How do conjugate arrive at complex number?
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
What is the meaning of Complex conjugate reflection?
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.
What is conjugate function?
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.
