you have alot of questions lol

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

ya lol i do

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

idk how to do this sorry

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

:/

OpenStudy (radar):

The real value does not change sign in the conjugate.

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

soooooooooooooooooooooo.....

OpenStudy (radar):

You do know the difference between the real and imaginary.

OpenStudy (radar):

The problem tells you.

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

d?

OpenStudy (radar):

Normally the real part is placed first, and note that the imaginary part did not change sign as it would need to for it to be a conjugate.

OpenStudy (radar):

That pretty much excludes d.

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

a or b?

OpenStudy (radar):

Do a and b look the same? They are different, I believe one of them is the answer.

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

i say its b

OpenStudy (radar):

One is the conjugate of -1 + 3i

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

soooo b ?

OpenStudy (radar):

b is correct if the imaginary value has the opposite sign of the problem in wuestion.....Does it?

OpenStudy (radar):

w* q

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

ummm yes i ..think?

OpenStudy (radar):

Let focus the problem is asking you what is the conjugate of:|dw:1405478588891:dw|
