In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. That is, if and are real numbers then the complex conjugate of is The complex conjugate of is often denoted as or .
In polar form, if and are real numbers then the conjugate of is This can be shown using Euler's formula.
The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number: (or in polar coordinates).
If a root of a univariate polynomial with real coefficients is complex, then its complex conjugate is also a root.
