For z=4−3iz=4-3i, the conjugate reverses only the sign of the imaginary part: zˉ=4+3i\bar z=4+3i. The modulus squared is ∣z∣2=42+(−3)2=16+9=25|z|^2=4^2+(-3)^2=16+9=25. The multiplicative inverse is z−1=zˉ∣z∣2=4+3i25=425+325iz^{-1}=\dfrac{\bar z}{|z|^2}=\dfrac{4+3i}{25}=\dfrac{4}{25}+\dfrac{3}{25}i. Check: $z\cdot z^{-1}=(4-3i)\cdot\dfrac{4+3i}{25 …
