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 first step when dividing complex numbers?

You multiply both the numerator and denominator my the complex conjugate of the denominator. For example if you have. a+bi/c+di you would multiply both the top and bottom by c-di. This is in effect multiplying by 1.


How many significant numbers are in 0.0034500?

The last two zeros are insignificant, because zeros following a decimal have no effect. Therefore, there are 6 significant numbers in 0.0034500, those numbers being 0.00345.


What is it called when the main beat is divided into groups of different numbers and these are played together at the same time?

This technique is called polymeter. In polymeter, two or more contrasting meters are played simultaneously, creating a complex rhythmic texture. For example, one instrument might play in 3/4 time while another plays in 4/4, resulting in a layered effect that can create tension and interest in the music.


Are negative fractions a whole number?

Short answer - yes, fractions with whole numbers are rational. All whole numbers are rational. All fractions are rational. Rational numbers can be added to always make another rational number.


Why multiplication of negative numbers equals positive?

When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.

What effect does a congugate have on other complex numbers?

A number multiplied by its complex conjugate will result in a real number. Also, adding a number to its conjugate will result in a real number. But typically the multiplication is what is used.

What is conjugate effect?

The conjugate effect is the phenomenon where combining two or more supplements produces a greater effect than the sum of their individual effects. This synergy can lead to improved performance or health outcomes. It is important to understand potential interactions between supplements to maximize benefits and avoid negative effects.


Why aromatic alcohols are more acidic than aliphatic alcohols?

aromatic alcohols undergo resonance which stabilizes the conjugate base, in aliphatic alcohols +I effect of alkyl group increase the -ve charge in the conjugate base thus make it unstable

Carboxylic acids are moderately stronger acids than 2-naphthol?

Carboxylic acids are stronger acids due to the more stable conjugate base formed after donation of a proton. The presence of the highly electronegative carbonyl group helps stabilize the negative charge on the conjugate base. In contrast, 2-naphthol is less acidic as the conjugate base formed lacks this stabilizing effect.

Describe the effects of complex waveforms on electrical systems?

Because a complex wave is purveyed as a 'distortion', this generally equates to an effect on what output the circuit gives. As the complex wave is, as quoted, the sum of the fundamental and the 3rd harmonic (commonly known as superposition), the nature of the effect on electrical and electronic systems are determined by how distorted the complex waveform is.

Why chcl3 is more acidic than chf3?

So the idea behind determining which compound is more acidic is linked to the stability of the conjugate bases. The more stable the conjugate base, the easier it is for the compound to lose a proton, the more acidic the compound. Comparing the two conjugate bases, CF3- and CCl3-. The negative charge on CF3- is stabilised by the induction effect of the electronegative fluorine while the negative charge on CCl3- is stabilised by both induction effects of chlorine and by delocalisation. This delocation can happen in CCl3- because the filled 2p orbitals of C can overlap with the empty 3d orbitals of Cl which lowers the energy. Some people call this backbonding. However F does not have empty d orbitals and this overlap cannot occur. Therefore, although the induction effect of F is stronger, the combination of induction and back bonding effect better stabilises the conjugate base in CHCl3, making it a stronger acid.
