Question

which of the following is the complex conjugate of the complex number below? 16+7i

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given complex number

$16+7i$

STEP 2: Explain the conjugate of a complex number

You find the complex conjugate simply by changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number. This goes that:

$\begin{gathered} z=a+bi \\ \\ Conjugate\text{ of z will be} \\ a-bi \end{gathered}$

STEP 3: find the conjugate of the given complex number

By changing the sign of the imaginary part of the complex number, the answer will be given as:

$16-7i$
