Step 1: Identify the complex number expression.
Let the given expression be W.
W=3+2iZ−1−i
Step 2: Apply the property of conjugates for division.
The conjugate of a quotient is the quotient of the conjugates: (BA)∗=B∗A∗.
So, the conjugate of W, denoted as W∗, is:
W∗=(3+2i)∗(Z−1−i)∗
Step 3: Find the conjugate of the numerator.
The conjugate of a sum or difference is the sum or difference of the conjugates. The conjugate of a real number is itself, and the conjugate of i is −i.
(Z−1−i)∗=Z∗−1∗−i∗=Z∗−1−(−i)=Z∗−1+i
Step 4: Find the conjugate of the denominator.
The conjugate of a+bi is a−bi.
(3+2i)∗=3−2i
Step 5: Substitute the conjugates back into the expression for W∗.
W∗=3−2iZ∗−1+i
Step 6: Rationalize the denominator.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 3+2i.
W∗=3−2iZ∗−1+i×3+2i3+2i
Step 7: Multiply the denominators.
(3−2i)(3+2i)=32−(2i)2=9−4i2=9−4(−1)=9+4=13
Step 8: Multiply the numerators.
(Z∗−1+i)(3+2i)=Z∗(3)+Z∗(2i)−1(3)−1(2i)+i(3)+i(2i)
=3Z∗+2iZ∗−3−2i+3i+2i2
=3Z∗+2iZ∗−3+i+2(−1)
=3Z∗+2iZ∗−3+i−2
=3Z∗+2iZ∗−5+i
Step 9: Combine the results to get the final conjugate expression.
W∗=133Z∗+2iZ∗−5+i
The conjugate of the expression is:
133Z∗+2iZ∗−5+i
