Write the following expressions as a complex number in standard form.
1).  
Form the conjugate of  by changing the sign of the term
containing
 by changing the sign of the term
containing  and leaving the sign of the first term.
Thus the conjugate of
 and leaving the sign of the first term.
Thus the conjugate of  is
 is  .
Place that conjugate over itself, like this

Place that conjugate over itself, like this  ,
which just equals 1, and so we can now multiply the original
expression by that without changing its value:
