Question

I have no clue how to answer this..
Part 1: Explain, in complete sentences, the effects of multiplying a radical or a complex number by its conjugate. (2 points)

Part 2: Give an example of each. (2 points)

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

pretty sure you end up with the base idea
example:
i think the conjugate of sqrt(3) is sqrt(3), so multiplying sqrt(3) by sqrt(3) gives you 3
or like the conjugate of 3^1/3 is 3^2/3 because multiplying 3^1/3 * 3^2/3 gives you 3
or with complex numbers sqrt(-1) multiplied by sqrt(-1) is -1

Answer 2

@chitters yea, I get the idea of it now. Thanks!
