Finding the Value of z and its Derivatives

[uniidiot]

this will probably seem like a really stupid question but here goes.

If z = 3 + 2i find the following

i) z

ii) z x z(with a horizontal line above it)

iii) z^2

what does the horizontal bar mean, i can't find it in my reivsion books lol.

Thanks

I suspect that a) was \overline{z} rather than just z itself!

\overline{z} is the "complex conjugate", a remarkably useful form: if z= x+ iy then \overline{z}= x- iy.

thankyou!

and yes a) was suposed to be \overline{z} lol
