    1x2 Matrix A =

    [(5) (-2i)]


    What is the complex conjugate and Hermitian conjugate of this matrix?

    ANS:

    D^T =
    5
    -2i


    D^H =
    5
    +2i


    What do you think of my answers?

    the answers you gave are the transpose and hermitian conjugate?

    The complex conjugate should not be transposed - just take the negative of the complex term.

    As for the Hermitian - I think they mean what Wolfram calls a Conjugate Transpose i.e. transposed complex conjugate. The terminology is not consistent, so I'm not sure.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Thanks, yes I accidentally hadn't typed in the complex conjugate.
