help please! Which of the following is the conjugate of a complex number with 2 as the real part and -8 as the imaginary part? -2 + 8i 2 + 8i 2 - 8i -2 - 8i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can break the question apart and notice that they are asking for Real Part: 2 Imaginary part: -8 Recall that imaginary numbers are represented as (number)i so knowing that you can now figure out the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2-8i? @Johnbc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Almost there, now do not forget the most important part they asked for the CONJUGATE of that complex number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conjugate means that you change the sign in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 2+8i correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Great Job!

Thank you so much!
