What is the complex conjugate of the following complex number? 1 + 2i

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

1-2i

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

In general, the complex conjugate of a complex number \(a+bi\) is \(a-bi\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be...? -1 - 2i

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Just \(1-2i\). You just negate the imaginary part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh ok thank you!

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

\[\Large a+bi \;\;\;\longmapsto \;\;\;a-bi\]
