Answer:

(1) Conjugate = -i8

(2) Conjugate = -i3+9

(3) Conjugate = i2+1

(4) Conjugate = -3-iy

Explanation:

From the question,

Conjugate of a surd is formed by changing the sign between a rational number and a surd in an expression.

The conjugate of a surd is obtained by changing the sign of the surd in the expression.

Given

(1) i3+i5 = i8

Conjugate is -i8

(2) i3+9

Conjugate is -i3+9

(3) -i2+1

Conjugate is i2+1

(4) -3+iy

Conjugate is -3-iy
