Conjugate complex numbers. Numbers which differ only in thesign of the imaginary parts are calledconjugate numbers. Thus, 3-l-2i and 3—2 i are conjugate. -Since {a + bi) + {a — M)=2a,(a + bi){a — bi)= a^ + ¥,and (a + bi)—{a — bi)=2bi, we see that the sum and the product of two conjugate complexnumbers are real numbers, but the difference of two conjugatecomplex numbers is an imaginary Fig. 21. EXERCISES Multiply both analytically and graphically, finding the arguments andmoduli of the products. 1. (S + V3i)(2 + 2i). Solution. (3 + VSi)(2 + 2i) = 6+ 6i + 2y/3i + 2\/31^ = 6 - 2^3 + i(6 + ZVS). Putting the numbers in the polar form, we have, 3 + V3 i = 2-n/3(oos30 + isin30°),2 + 2 i = 2 V2 (cos 45° + isin45°). 116 COMPLEX NUMBERS [Chap.
