identify the conjugate

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The conjugate of an expression such as your \[4+\sqrt{7}\] is exactly the same EXCEPT for sign. Mind writing out the conjugate here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4-\[\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Great! The conjugate of \[4-\sqrt{7}~is~4+\sqrt{7},\]or vice versa. Nice work!
