complex conjugate

Two complex numbers for which the real parts are equal and the imaginary parts are additive inverses. a + bi and abi are complex conjugates.

complex number

A number in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers and i is the square root of −1.

distributive property of multiplicationThe product of a sum (or a difference) and a number is the same as the sum (or difference) of the product of each addend (or each number being subtracted) and the number. For example, 3(4 + 2) = 3(4) + 3(2), and 3(4 – 2) = 3(4) – 3(2).
