\begin{definition}[Definition:Conjugate Quaternion/Matrix Form]
Let $\mathbf x$ be a quaternion defined in matrix form as:
:$\mathbf x = \begin{bmatrix} a + bi & c + di \\ -c + di & a - bi \end{bmatrix}$
The conjugate quaternion of $\mathbf x$ is defined as:
:$\overline {\mathbf x} = \begin{bmatrix} a - bi & -c - di \\ c - di & a + bi \end{bmatrix}$
That is, if:
:$\mathbf x = \begin{bmatrix} p & q \\ -\overline q & \overline p \end{bmatrix}$
then:
:$\overline {\mathbf x} = \begin{bmatrix} \overline p & -q \\ \overline q & p \end{bmatrix}$
