Homework Statement
Supposing that A*B is defined (where A and B are both matrices in the field of the complex numbers), show that the conjugate of matrix A * the conjugate of matrix B is equal to the conjugate of A*B.
Homework Equations
None.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm stuck. I've already shown that for 2 complex numbers z1 and z2, the conjugate of z1 + the conjugate of z2 is equal to the conjugate of (z1+z2). I've also shown that the conjugate of z1 * the conjugate of z2 = the conjugate of (z1*z2). My prof says to use the above to help with the proof.
I'm quite inexperienced with proofs, so any hint or tip would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
