The Complex Conjugate Calculator finds the conjugate of a complex number z = a + bi, which is z̄ = a - bi. The conjugate is obtained by negating the imaginary part while keeping the real part unchanged. Complex conjugates are fundamental in complex analysis, quantum mechanics, signal processing, and electrical engineering. The product z · z̄ = a² + b² = |z|² is always a non-negative real number, which is why conjugates are used to rationalize complex denominators (divide both numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator). The Complex Conjugate Root Theorem states that for polynomials with real coefficients, complex roots always come in conjugate pairs: if a + bi is a root, then a - bi is also a root.

• !Negating the real part instead of the imaginary part: the conjugate of a+bi is a-bi, not -a+bi
• !Forgetting that z·z̄ is always real and non-negative, never complex
• !Not applying the conjugate to the entire denominator when rationalizing
• !Assuming conjugation changes the modulus: |z| = |z̄| always
