An imaginary number is a number that cannot exist. An example of an imaginary number would be: the square root of negative nine, or any negative number.
When I try to think of any two of the same numbers that would multiply together to be negative nine, all I can think of is 3 or -3. when I square both of those numbers, I get the number 9, not -9. When I multiply two negatives together, I get a positive number, therefore there is no possible way to get the square root of -9, or any negative number.
They are used to explain extra-dimensional theories. (such as cheese, flippantly).

Is every complex number a pure imaginary number?
No. For example the number 1+i. Pure imaginary complex numbers are of the form 0 + a*i, where a is a non-zero real number.
What is an unreal number?
Imaginary and complex numbers are an extension of the Real Number system. They are not called unreal. An imaginary number is a non-existent number, like the square root of a negative number. For example, the square root of -4 is 2i (i stands for imaginary). There are also complex numbers, which are defined as the sum of a real number and an imaginary number (e.g. 4 + 3i). An imaginary number does not exist, but can nevertheless be useful in certain applications. An imaginary number is any number that is the product of a real number and the square root of negative one (-1). The square root of -1 is the "unit" of the set of imaginary numbers, and is referred to as "i". As you know, negative numbers cannot have square roots, and so the square root of any negative number is "imaginary". There are also "complex numbers", which are the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. For example 3 + 2i.
Is pi an Example of a number that is not real?
No. The square root of negative one is an example of an imaginary (not real) number. Pi is irrational, but real.
Can a number be imaginary but not pure imaginary?
Yes. The number 1 + i is imaginary but not pure imaginary, while 5i is pure imaginary.
What is an unreal in math?
The only thing I can think of that you might mean is an imaginary or complex number. Since there is no solution to √(-1) mathematicians labeled it as i which is the imaginary number, and any number that includes purely i is also imaginary. Complex numbers are a mix of both real and imaginary numbers. for example 3 is real, 5i is imaginary and 3+5i is complex. Hopefully this answers what you meant.
Is a square root of a negative number a real number?
no, it is an imaginary number represented by an i. For example, the square root of -4 is 2i.
Is a fraction a real number?
It can be but it need not be. For example, i/2, where i is the imaginary sqrt of -1, is not real.
Can a no real number be a pure imaginary number?
If a number is pure imaginary then it has no real component. If it is a real number, then there is no imaginary component. If it has both real and imaginary components, then it is a complex number.
Can you divide an imaginary number by a real number?
an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks
What isn't a real number?
A complex number for example. Complex numbers involve i, the imaginary square root of -1.
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.
What is an example of imaginary?
if someone has an imaginary friend then that is an example or if the brain tricks you into seeing someting that isn't there then its using imaginary effects on you
