Real numbers are numbers that you are already familiar with: integers, fractions, and Irrational Numbers: 1, 2, 0, -5, ¾, sqrt(2), pi, etc. Next, you need to know about imaginary numbers. These are numbers that, when squared, will give a negative real number. No real number can do that. Now imagine a graphical plane, with the real axis on the horizontal, and the imaginary axis on the vertical. This is called the complex plane, and any combination of real and imaginary numbers can be plotted on the complex plane.
The set of complex numbers includes all real numbers as well as all imaginary numbers, and the combination of the two.
Complex numbers are a proper superset of real numbers. That is to say, real numbers are a proper subset of complex numbers.
Complex math covers how to do operations on complex numbers. Complex numbers include real numbers, imaginary numbers, and the combination of real+imaginary numbers.
Real numbers are a proper subset of Complex numbers.
Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system. Instead of the usual x-axis you have the real numbers, instead of the y-axis, you have the imaginary numbers.The real numbers are on the horizontal axis.The imaginary numbers are on the vertical axis.The complex numbers are any number on the plane.The non-real complex are, of course, any complex numbers that are not on the real number axis - not on the horizontal axis.Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system.

Complex numbers extend the concept of real numbers by introducing an imaginary unit, denoted as "i." Real numbers can be considered a subset of complex numbers with the imaginary part equal to zero. Complex numbers include both a real and imaginary component, allowing for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Yes, imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers.
Rational and irrational numbers are real numbers. A complex number is represented by a+bi where a and b are real numbers. Zero is a real number therefore any real number is also complex whenever b=0
The set of real numbers are a subset of the set of complex numbers: imagine the complex plane with real numbers existing on the horizontal number line, and pure imaginary existing on the vertical axis. The entire plane (which includes both axes) is the set of complex numbers. So any real number (such as pi) will also be a complex number. But many people think of complex numbers as something that is "not a real number".
The set of real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers. For the set of complex numbers, given in the form (a + bi), where a and b can be any real number, the number is only a real number, if b = 0.
No. Negative four is a real number. All real numbers are also complex numbers, so it is a complex number (but it's real, not nonreal)
The complex numbers.
A "complex number" is a number of the form a+bi, where a and b are both real numbers and i is the principal square root of -1. Since b can be equal to 0, you see that the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. Similarly, since a can be zero, the imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. So let's take two complex numbers: a+bi and c+di (where a, b, c, and d are real). We add them together and we get: (a+c) + (b+d)i The sum of two real numbers is always real, so a+c is a real number and b+d is a real number, so the sum of two complex numbers is a complex number. What you may really be wondering is whether the sum of two non-real complex numbers can ever be a real number. The answer is yes: (3+2i) + (5-2i) = 8. In fact, the complex numbers form an algebraic field. The sum, difference, product, and quotient of any two complex numbers (except division by 0) is a complex number (keeping in mind the special case that both real and imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers).
