### Problem 10

#### Complex Conjugate and Modulus

The **conjugate** of a complex number \( z = a + bi \) is \( a - bi \). We denote the conjugate by \( \overline{z} \).

We also define the **modulus** of a complex number \( z \), denoted by \( |z| \), as \( \sqrt{z\overline{z}} \). Note that \( z \overline{z} \) is always a nonnegative real number, so this is also a nonnegative real number.

#### Matrix Conjugate

Let \( A \) be a complex \( n \times n \) matrix, where \( n \ge 2 \). We define the matrix \( \overline{A} \) to be the matrix obtained by taking the conjugate of every entry of \( A \).

#### Questions

a. Calculate \( \overline{A} \), where \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 - i & 3 + 2i \\ 4 & -i \end{bmatrix} \).

b. Calculate \( |2 - 4i| \).

c. Prove that for any complex numbers \( x \) and \( y \), \( \overline{xy} = \overline{x} \overline{y} \) and \( \overline{x + y} = \overline{x} + \overline{y} \).

d. Prove that \( |yz| = |y||z| \) for any \( y, z \in \mathbb{C} \).

e. Prove that \( \det \overline{A} = \overline{\det A} \). (Hint: Show the \( 2 \times 2 \) case and use induction on \( n \).)

f. A **unitary matrix** \( A \in M_{n \times n}(\mathbb{C}) \) is one where \( \overline{A^T} = A^{-1} \). Prove that if \( A \) is a unitary matrix, then \( |\det A| = 1 \).
