Math Problem Statement

Graph the complex conjugate of the given number.

Solution

The image you uploaded asks for the graph of the complex conjugate of a given number. In this case, the point plotted in the graph corresponds to a complex number, and the complex conjugate is its reflection over the real axis.

Looking at the graph, I can see the point is at (4, 6i), which represents the complex number 4 + 6i.

The complex conjugate of a complex number a + bi is a - bi. So, the complex conjugate of 4 + 6i would be 4 - 6i, which would be reflected on the graph to the point (4, -6i).

Would you like more details on this? Here are some related questions:

  1. How do you find the complex conjugate of other complex numbers?
  2. What does the complex conjugate represent geometrically?
  3. How is the complex conjugate used in calculations like division or finding the magnitude?
  4. What is the significance of the complex conjugate in complex number operations?
  5. How can the real and imaginary components of complex numbers be used in applications?

Tip: Remember, the real part of the complex number stays the same, but the imaginary part changes sign when you calculate the conjugate.
