What are pure imaginary numbers?
complex numbers with no real partif any complex number z can be written a + i bthen pure imaginary numbers have a=0 and b not equal to 0
What is the definition of a pure imaginary number?
A pure imaginary number is a complex number that has 0 for its real part, such as 0+7i.
Are there more real numbers than imaginary numbers?
Both imaginary and real numbers are infinite .Answer:Any real number can be turned into an imaginary number by multiplying it by "i" ot "j" (the root of -1). Hence it would appear that the set of all real numbers would equal the set of all imaginary numbers. However 0 (zero) multiplied by anything still equals zero. This would mean that there is at least one number that cannot be converted to an imaginary number.
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)
Is the sum of two pure imaginary numbers always a pure imaginary number?
Yes, the only argument would be the example, i + (-i) = 0. However, many people don't realize that 0 is both a purely real and pure imaginary number since it lies on both axes of the complex plane.
