The two conjugate numbers

? The conjugate number of (v?? + v??) is (v?? - v??).
? Their sum = 2 v?? = 2 × ??????????
? Their product = a – b = ??????????2 - ????????????2

Example(1):

Write the number               4       in the simplest form.
                           v7- v3

Solution:

                  ??    x  v?? +  v??  =  v??  +  v??
              v??- v??     v??+   v??
