    Study Notes

    Algebra 2 Conjugates

    • The conjugate of a binomial expression changes the sign of the second term.
    • Example of a conjugate: For √2 + x, its conjugate is √2 - x.
    • For expressions involving square roots:
      • The conjugate of √3 + y is √3 - y.
      • For 5 - √a, the conjugate is 5 + √a.

    Complex Conjugates

    • Complex conjugates consist of a real part that remains the same and an imaginary part that is negated.
    • The complex conjugate of 5 - 2i is 5 + 2i.
    • For 1 + 4i, the complex conjugate is 1 - 4i.
    • The conjugate of a purely imaginary number like -5i is simply its positive counterpart, 5i.
    • Real numbers are their own conjugates (e.g., the conjugate of 12 remains 12).

    Properties of Complex Conjugates

    • For any complex number of the form a - bi, its conjugate is a + bi.
    • The conjugate of negative imaginary numbers like 9i is -9i, with the sign reversed.
    • When complex numbers have the same real parts but opposite imaginary parts, they are considered conjugates.

    Operations Involving Complex Numbers

    • Division by complex numbers involves multiplying both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator to simplify the expression.
    • Example operations:
      • (4-5i) + (7+9i) simplifies to 11 + 4i.
      • (6+12i) + (7-5i) - (3-10i) simplifies to 10 + 7i.
      • The product of 6i and (2-3i) gives 18 + 12i.

    Basic Complex Number Properties

    • i represents the imaginary unit, defined as √-1.
    • Powers of i cycle every four terms:
      • i^0 = 1
      • i^1 = i
      • i^2 = -1
      • i^3 = -i
      • i^4 = 1 (and repeats from there).
    • To simplify higher powers of i, reduce the exponent modulo 4.

    Simplifications

    • Simplifying i^59 results in -i since 59 mod 4 = 3.
    • The expression 3i^8 + 5i^15 simplifies to 3 - 5i, with each power calculated using the properties of i.
    • (i^5)^7 simplifies to -i, using the cycle of powers.

    Key Reminders

    • Understanding the conjugate and its properties is essential in manipulating and solving complex equations.
    • Always apply conjugates when simplifying or dividing expressions involving complex numbers.
