.
Step 1. Multiply (a+bi) by (c+di); then take the bar over this product.
it will be (z* w) bar.
Step 2. Take bars first, transforming a+bi to a-bi
and c+di to c-di.
Now multiply (a-bi) by (c-di).
It will be z bar * w bar.
Step 3. Now compare your results in steps 1 and 2.
If you calculated everything correct, you must get identical results,
which will prove your statement.
It you will get different results, then check and re-check, double check and cross-check,
until you find and correct all possible mistakes.
