What Is the use of imaginary axis in real life?

The imaginary axis is used in the definition of the complex numbers. Complex numbers are used in many fields in engineering, in particular - electric engineering, aerodynamics, acoustics etc.

Jobs that require the use of imaginary numbers?

Physics (e.g., quantum mechanics, relativity, other subfields) makes use of imaginary numbers. "Complex analysis" (i.e., calculus that includes imaginary numbers) can also be used to evaluate difficult integrals and to perform other mathematical tricks. Engineering, especially Electrical Engineering makes use of complex and imaginary numbers to simplify analysis of some circuits and waveforms.

What do imaginary numbers represent?

The real numbers together with the imaginary numbers form a sort of vector. What these complex numbers (complex means the combination of real and imaginary numbers) represent depends on the specific situation. Just as there are situations where it doesn't make sense to use negative numbers, or fractional numbers, in many common situations it doesn't make sense to use complex numbers. In an electrical circuit (specifically, AC), the real numbers might represent resistance, while the imaginary number represent reactance - and voltages and currents are also represented by complex numbers, with the angle of the complex number representing how much one quantity is ahead or behind another quantity (the "phase angle"). In quantum mechanics, the complex numbers might not represent anything (perhaps they don't, I am not sure...), but they are useful for calculations.


What jobs require you to use mathematics?

Why are imaginary numbers used in electronic systems control systems and physics?

Mathematics is beautiful in itself. Back in the 1700s and later, mathematicians studied "imaginary" numbers (numbers that involve a factor of the square root of -1) knowing that they didn't describe anything "real", the way "real numbers" do. But when beauty can be melded to practicality, things get REALLY interesting. It turns out that you can use imaginary numbers and "complex numbers" (which have a "real" component and an "imaginary" component) to describe the way radiation and electromagnetic fields behave.


Where did complex and imaginary numbers come from?

The 16th century Italian mathematician, Gerolamo Cardano was the first to use imaginary and complex numbers in his work on cubic equations.

How do you use complex and imaginary numbers in your daily life?

you would use complex and imaginary numbers in your daily life if you become a mathematician, electrical engineer, quantam mechanic, etc. otherwise, you would not use use them at all except in algebra 2, pre-calc, calculus....i hope that helped a little bit.


What can you formulate from the real numbers?

This question is kind of vague. Many of your everyday situations use the rational numbers (fractions and integers), which are a subset of real numbers. If you do anything with angles (like surveying, or navigation) then irrational (which are still real) come into play. There are situations when it's necessary to consider complex (a combination of real and imaginary) numbers. When dealing with waves or periodic motion, imaginary numbers become an important thing to consider.
