1. conjugate

   In mathematics, a conjugate typically refers to a pair of mathematical expressions or quantities that are connected by a specific mathematical operation yet have opposite components. The term "conjugate" can have different meanings depending on the domain of math: 1. In complex numbers, the conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. 2. In algebra, the conjugate of a binomial expression (a + b) is its corresponding binomial formed by negating the second term (a - b) or vice versa. 3. In abstract algebra, conjugate elements in a group are elements related through a similarity transformation. 4. In geometry, conjugate diameters of an ellipse or hyperbola are any two diameters such that a tangent line to the curve at the endpoint of one diameter is parallel to the other diameter, and vice versa. The broader meaning for conjugate includes the idea of forming a complementary or related pair in a particular mathematical situation.

1. Conjugate

   In algebra, a conjugate is a binomial formed by negating the second term of a binomial. The conjugate of x + y is x − y, where x and y are real numbers. If y is imaginary, the process is termed complex conjugation: the complex conjugate of a + bi is a − bi, where a and b are real.
