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.

Examples of complex numbers?
5+6i , -2-2i , 100+i.A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part: a+bi where 'i' is the imaginary unit (sq.rt(-1)).
What is complex math?
Complex math covers how to do operations on complex numbers. Complex numbers include real numbers, imaginary numbers, and the combination of real+imaginary numbers.
What numbers are not real numbers?
The square root of any negative number is not a real number. denoted as i for imaginary because it does not exist, in the normal concept of numbers.Complex numbers (which include real and imaginary numbers) are combinations of real & imaginary numbers.While these numbers do not exist in the everyday concept of numbers, they are important in concepts of electricity and waves.
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.
Is an imaginary number always sometimes or never a complex number?
Always. The set of imaginary numbers is a subset of complex numbers. Think of complex numbers as a plane (2 dimensional). The real numbers exist on the horizontal axis. The pure imaginary are the vertical axis. All other points on the plane are combinations of real and imaginary. All points on the plane (including imaginary axis and real axis) are complex numbers.
