Hi All
A complex equation and its complex conjugate are linearly dependent or independent
thanks

Is the complex conjugate a multiple of the original number?

The equation is
\phi\ast(M^{2}-\phi^{2})+m^{2}\phi=0 where m and M are real
 
Okay, so what is its "complex conjugate"? And what does it mean to say that two equations are linearly independent?
