SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the properties of complex numbers, specifically addressing the simplification of the expression (\frac{1}{0.81e^{j0.27}})* and the role of complex conjugation. It is established that constants can be factored out during complex conjugation due to its distributive nature over multiplication. The conversation also references Euler's formula, e^{j\theta}=cos(\theta)+jsin(\theta), to explain how the conjugate of a complex number results in the multiplication of the angle by -1.

[tex](\frac{1}{0.81e^{j0.27}})*[/tex]=[tex]\frac{1}{0.81}e^{j0.27}[/tex]
why we can remove the constant?
why the conjugate of a complex number is multiplication of the angle by -1

Complex conjugation is distributive over multiplication, and a real number is not affected by it, therefore you can pull the constant out.

The angle thing comes from euler's formula:

[tex]e^{j\theta}=cos(\theta)+jsin(\theta)[/tex]

So

[tex](e^{j\theta})*=cos(\theta)-jsin(\theta)=cos(-\theta)+jsin(-\theta)=e^{-j\theta}[/tex]
