'e' is an imaginary number, multiplied by anything gives an imaginary result
No. The square root of negative one is an example of an imaginary (not real) number. Pi is irrational, but real.
i is the Imaginary Unit, equal to sqrt(-1). So i and any real number multiplied by i will all be imaginary numbers. Here are some: i, -i, 5i, -3i, i*pi, etc.
Yes. The number 1 + i is imaginary but not pure imaginary, while 5i is pure imaginary.
The set of real numbers are a subset of the set of complex numbers: imagine the complex plane with real numbers existing on the horizontal number line, and pure imaginary existing on the vertical axis. The entire plane (which includes both axes) is the set of complex numbers. So any real number (such as pi) will also be a complex number. But many people think of complex numbers as something that is "not a real number".
