Question

What is conjugate in math

Answer 1

Hi there !

Conjugate means formed by changing the sign between two terms in a binomial. For example, the conjugate of x + y is x - y. We can also say that x + y is a conjugate of x - y.

Example :-

$\frac{2 + \sqrt{3} }{2 - \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{2 + \sqrt{3} }{2 + \sqrt{3} }$

In this example we multiply the conjugate of denominator.

Thankyou :)
