complex conjugate
Sign in to saveAlso known as conjugate
operation on complex numbers in which the sign of the real part is kept but the sign of the imaginary part is reversed
AI overview
A complex conjugate is formed by flipping the sign of the imaginary part of a complex number while keeping the real part unchanged. This operation is useful in mathematics and engineering because multiplying a complex number by its conjugate eliminates the imaginary part, producing a real number.
