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.


Is the square root of -100 rational?

The square root of 100 is rational since it is not repeating.


Is the difference of a complex number and its conjugate a real imaginary or pure imaginary number?

It is a pure imaginary number.Since (a+bi)-(a-bi) = 2bi, it is a pure imaginary number (it has no real component).


Can you divide an imaginary number by a real number?

an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks


Why are complex numbers imaginary?

An imaginary number has the form b*i, where b is any real number, and i is the imaginary unit number sqrt(-1). A complex number is in the form a + b*i, where a and b are any real number. Complex numbers are called complex, because they combine numbers from the real domain and the imaginary domain.I thought the Wikipedia article was very good. Also, Answers.com has a video about complex and imaginary numbers.


Is -17 a real number?

A real number is a number that does not have an imaginary component. There is no imaginary component in -17, so it is a real number.


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.

In a short explanation what is the real number system?

What is imaginary?

Imaginary means "not real," "fictional," or "made up."


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.
