Final answer:

The solution involves converting complex numbers from polar to rectangular form for subtraction and then converting back to polar form to find the conjugate of the difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the polar form of (X−Y)*, where X and Y are complex numbers given as X=14∠40° and Y=20∠−30°, we need to calculate the complex conjugate of the difference between X and Y.

To perform the subtraction of Y from X in polar form, we would convert each to rectangular form (using cos(θ)+isin(θ)) for the magnitude and angle, subtract the real and imaginary parts respectively, and then convert the result back to polar form. However, since we are asked for the conjugate of the result, the angle of the resulting complex number will be negated.
