Question

Write the conjugates of the following complex number:

`-sqrt(-5)`

Sum

Solution

Simplifying the given equation by separating `sqrt−1` from it.

`- sqrt5 = - sqrt 5 sqrt -1`

`= - sqrt5i        ...("As  i" = sqrt -1)`

Comparing the given equation with `a+ib`
`a = 0 and b = - sqrt5`

Inverting the sign for imaginary part gives,

Conjugate: a - ib

= 0 - (- sqrt5i)`

`= 0 + sqrt5i`

`= sqrt5i`
