Answer:


(-4-3i) (- 4 + 3i) = 25

Explanation:

Notice in the graph that z1 has a real component of -4 and an imaginary component of -3.

Then we know that:


z_1 = -4-3i

By definition for an imaginary number of the form
a-bi its conjugate will always be the number
a + bi

So the conjugate of
z_1 is:


-4 + 3i

The product of both numbers is:


(-4-3i) (- 4 + 3i) = 16-12i + 12i-9i ^ 2\\\\(-4-3i) (- 4 + 3i) = 16-9 (-1)\\\\(-4-3i) (- 4 + 3i) = 16 + 9\\\\(-4-3i) (- 4 + 3i) = 25

Answer:

The product is 25

Explanation:

we know that

The complex number z1 is equal to

z1=(-4-3i)

we know that

To find the complex conjugate of (-4 - 3i) we change the sign of the imaginary part

so

The conjugate is equal to (-4+3i)

therefore


(-4-3i)(-4+3i)=16-9(-1)=25
