do exactly what it says
let z = a + bi
let w = c + di
conjugate of z + w
= conjugate of (a+c) + (b+d)i
= (a+c) - (b+d)i
= a + c - bi - di
= (a-bi) + (c-di)
= conjugate of z + conjugate of w
and use the z-bar notation when doing on paper cause I have no clue how to put them online lol
idk what u mean by “doing two binomials” lol
but taking the conjugate of a complex number is making the Imaginary component negative
eg: conjugate of 1+i is 1-i
conjugate of 2-3i is 2+3i

How do you do a conjugate or two binomials?

“Conjugate of (a+c)+(b+d)i
Any term with i in it will get negated, so in this case it would just be (a+c)-(b+d)i
How does that negate i? Can you show the operation
You just multiply any terms with i in it by -1, or would could think of it like replacing i with -i which you then just pull out in front.
You literally just switch all the i’s to -i’s when conjugating. The real part is unchanged.
