Yes, you can take the logarithm of an imaginary number, but it's more complex than with real numbers. The logarithm of a complex number, including imaginary numbers, is defined using the polar form of the number. For an imaginary number like ( bi ) (where ( b ) is real), the logarithm can be expressed as ( \ln|b| + i\arg(b) ), where ( \arg(b) ) is the argument (angle) of the complex number in the complex plane. Thus, the result will also be a complex number.
Because it's not. However, if you were to take the square root of -16, the answer would be 4i, which is an imaginary number, considered imaginary because multiplication of a real number by itself cannot equal a negative number.
Yes. The number 1 + i is imaginary but not pure imaginary, while 5i is pure imaginary.
Yes, the set of imaginary numbers is closed under subtraction. This means that if you take any two imaginary numbers, their difference will also be an imaginary number. For example, subtracting ( bi ) from ( ai ) (where ( a ) and ( b ) are real numbers) results in ( (a - b)i ), which remains an imaginary number. Therefore, the set of imaginary numbers is closed under this operation.
It is a pure imaginary number.Since (a+bi)-(a-bi) = 2bi, it is a pure imaginary number (it has no real component).
No, but √-23 is. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative 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.
an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks
-125 is NOT an imaginary number.

That quotient would be an imaginary number. The actual number depends on exactly what imaginary number you divide the 7 by.

No, but √-23 is. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative number.
The natural log of a number is some other number such that if you take e (2.718281828...) and raise it to that other number you would get the first number. Another way to say this is that a natural log is a log with base e. The common log of a number is some other number such that if you take 10 and raise it to that other number you would get the first number. The natural log base, e, is a special transcendental number, chosen so that the derivative (respect to x) of ex is equal to ex . In other words, the slope of a tangent line to the curve y = ex at point (x, ex) is equal to ex for all x
An imaginary number is a number that has the square root of -1 as one of its factors.
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.
