When were imaginary numbers invented?
Rafael Bombelli defined imaginary numbers in 1572, and Descartes named them 'imaginary' in 1637. It wasn't until the work of Euler in the 1700's that a usefulness for imaginary numbers was found, though. See the Wikipedia articles I linked for some good information on imaginary and complex numbers. I also linked an explanatory video that is pretty good as well.
Can a complex number be imaginary?
Yes, imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers.
What is the difference between imaginary numbers and complex numbers?
No difference. The set of complex numbers includes the set of imaginary numbers.
Is the imaginary unit 8i irrational?
No, it is imaginary. Irrational numbers are a subset of real numbers Real numbers and imaginary numbers are sets without any overlap.
How did imaginary numbers impact mathematics?
Imaginary numbers are used in complex numbers that make some math simpler like electronics where there is a cycle frequency it makes the math much simpler to handle complex equations
Are imaginary numbers irrational numbers?
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.

Which of these sets of numbers is not a subset of the real numbers irrational integer rational and imaginary?
Imaginary numbers are not a subset of the real numbers; imaginary means not real.

What are imagery numbers?
imaginary numbers are numbers that are a negative square root, which is not possoble therefor it is called and imaginary number. ex the square root of -24 is an imaginary number
Which number belongs to the set of imaginary numbers 2?
2 does belong to the set of imaginary numbers. Any real number is also imaginary. Imaginary numbers are the set of all numbers that can be expressed as a +b*i where "i" is the square root of negative one and "a" and "b" are both real numbers.
The symbol for imaginary numbers is?
An imaginary number is symbolized by the letter i
What type of problems have imaginary numbers?
Imaginary numbers are only ever used when you are using the square roots of negative numbers. The square root of -1 is i. You may find imaginary numbers when you are finding roots of equations.
What are known numbers?
non-imaginary numbers
