How can you tell which part of a complex number is the real part and which is the imaginary part?

The imaginary part is expressed as a product of i(square root of negative one), typically following a plus sign, so that the complex number has the form a + bi, with "a" the real part and "bi" the imaginary part.

Are imaginary and complex numbers the same?
No. A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part. Technically, a pure imaginary number ... which has no real part ... is not a complex number.
Can a number be both complex and imaginary?
A complex number has a real part and a (purely) imaginary part, So imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers. But the converse is not true. A real number is also a member of the complex domain but it is not an imaginary number.
What are the characteristics of a complex number?
A complex number must have a real and imaginary part. It can be in the form: a + bi i is an imaginary number and a and b are real numbers
Is 5192716162 a real number?
Real numbers are the subset of complex numbers with the property that their imaginary part is zero. Since the above number has no imaginary part, it is a real number.
Why complex no is denoted by z?
There are no real reason why it is denoted by z, but that the real number axis is denoted by x, imaginary number is denoted by y, the real part of a complex number is denoted by a, the imaginary part of a complex number is denoted by b, so there is z left.

Is every complex nberan imaginary number?
No. A complex number consists of a real part and a imaginary part. If the real part equals zero, there is only the imaginary left and you could therefor argue that it is an imaginary number (or else it would still be a complex number -with a real part=0)
A complex number might not be a pure imaginary number?
True. Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary part. If either one of these is zero, the complex number will be a pure real or a pure imaginary.
What are the characteristics of a complex number?
A complex number must have a real and imaginary part. It can be in the form: a + bi i is an imaginary number and a and b are real numbers
A number can be both real and complex?
Any real number is a complex number with an imaginary part equal to 0
How do you write a pseudocode for additing two complex number?
Real part of the result = real part of first number + real part of second number Imaginary part of the result = imaginary part of first number + imaginary part of second number

How do you write complex numbers in the form a plus bi?
A complex number comes in two parts: a real part and an imaginary part. If the value of the real part is a and the value of the imaginary part is b, the number is written as a + bi.
Is Every complex number is a pure imaginary number?
No. All Complex Numbers are of the form a + bi where a and b are Real Numbers and i is the square root of -1. So only ones where a = 0 are pure Imaginary Numbers.
Does the imaginary or real part come first when writing a complex number?
The standard written form of a complex number is to first write the real part of the number, and then write the imaginary part; e.g. x+yi or 3+7i.
