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.

A complex number might not be a pure imaginary number?
True. Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary part. If either one of these is zero, the complex number will be a pure real or a pure imaginary.
Is every complex nberan imaginary number?
No. A complex number consists of a real part and a imaginary part. If the real part equals zero, there is only the imaginary left and you could therefor argue that it is an imaginary number (or else it would still be a complex number -with a real part=0)
What are non complex numbers?
A non complex number is a number that does not have any imaginary component. An imaginary component is a non zero factor of the square root of -1, in other words, the imaginary number i.
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 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.
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.
Can a number be both complex and imaginary?
A complex number has a real part and a (purely) imaginary part, So imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers. But the converse is not true. A real number is also a member of the complex domain but it is not an imaginary number.
Is 3i an irrational number?
No. It is an imaginary (or complex) number.
A complex number might not be a pure imaginary number?
True. Complex numbers have a real part and an imaginary part. If either one of these is zero, the complex number will be a pure real or a pure imaginary.
What is the difference between imaginary numbers and complex numbers?
No difference. The set of complex numbers includes the set of imaginary numbers.
What are the characteristics of a complex number?
A complex number must have a real and imaginary part. It can be in the form: a + bi i is an imaginary number and a and b are real numbers
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 every complex nberan imaginary number?
No. A complex number consists of a real part and a imaginary part. If the real part equals zero, there is only the imaginary left and you could therefor argue that it is an imaginary number (or else it would still be a complex number -with a real part=0)
Can a complex number can't be a pure imaginary number?
A complex number can be a pure imaginary, or a pure real number, or a combination of the two. The form for a complex number is a + bi, where a & b can be any real numbers (so if a = 0, then the number is pure imaginary; and if b=0, then it is a real number).
What are non complex numbers?
A non complex number is a number that does not have any imaginary component. An imaginary component is a non zero factor of the square root of -1, in other words, the imaginary number i.
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 negative two an irrational number?
No, it is an imaginary number which is a complex number.
