i give medals and fans Explain, in complete sentences and in your own words, the answers to the following questions relating to complex numbers. What are the characteristics of a complex number? (1 point) What is the relationship between a complex number and its conjugate? (2 point) Describe the usefulness of the conjugate and its effect on other complex numbers. (2 points)
1. a+bi: There is a real and an imaginary part to a complex number. A is the real part and i is the imaginary (complex number). Complex numbers are graphed on a complex coordinate plane. i^2=-1 Does that make sense??? If so, I will try to move on to question 2.
@ladiesman217 does this make sense?
ya
2. basically, the complex number and its conjugate (when multiplied) equal a real number.
In other words, the product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number.
ok
3. Once again, the complex number multiplied by the conjugate equals a real number. This helps to solve any equation that utilizes complex numbers. Hope this helps :)
yes it does thankyou @geneticrockhopper247
