Answer:
- 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The conjugate of - 2 + i is - 2 - i, thus
- 2 + i + (- 2) - i
= - 2 + i - 2 - i ← collect like terms
= - 4 ← in the form a + bi with b = 0
The sum of -2 + i and its complex conjugate is:
w = -4 + 0i
The complex conjugate of a number z = a + bi is:
z' = a - bi.
Then the complex conjugate of -2 + i is -2 - i.
The sum will give:
w = -2 + i + (-2 - i) = -4 + 0
Writing it in the wanted form we get:
w = -4 + 0i
