Why the conjugation only change the sign of the imaginary part?
when you square a negative number you also get a positive result (because a negative times a negative gives a positive)
What is conjugation of 7-2i?
The conjugate of a complex number can be found by multiplying the imaginary part by -1, then adding the "real" part back. (-2i) * -1 = 2i, so the conjugation is 7+2i
Are imaginary and complex numbers the same?
No. A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part. Technically, a pure imaginary number ... which has no real part ... is not a complex number.
How can you tell which part of a complex number is the real part and which is the imaginary part?
The imaginary part is expressed as a product of i(square root of negative one), typically following a plus sign, so that the complex number has the form a + bi, with "a" the real part and "bi" the imaginary part.
Can a number be both complex and imaginary?
A complex number has a real part and a (purely) imaginary part, So imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers. But the converse is not true. A real number is also a member of the complex domain but it is not an imaginary number.
