Conjugés
Conjugés is a term used in several contexts, most notably in mathematics and linguistics. In mathematics, the term often refers to complex conjugates. A complex conjugate of a complex number $a + bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers and $i$ is the imaginary unit, is $a - bi$. This operation is important in various areas of complex analysis, signal processing, and electrical engineering. For instance, the product of a complex number and its conjugate is always a non-negative real number: $(a + bi)(a - bi) = a^2 - (bi)^2 = a^2 - b^2i^2 = a^2 - b^2(-1) = a^2 + b^2$.
In linguistics, particularly in the study of Romance languages like French, "conjugué" refers to a conjugated
