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.
Why can not a complex number lesser or greater than another complex number?
Because a complex number is a two dimensional entity. The concept of less than or greater than, for ordinary numbers, is one-dimensional. It can be applied to the magnitude (absolute value) of a complex number.
Is 4 a complex number?
A complex number is denoted by Z=X+iY, where X is the real part and iY is the imanginary part. So the number 4 would be 4+i0 and is the real part of a complex number and so 4 by itself is just a real number, not complex.
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.
How do you write complex numbers in the form a plus bi?
A complex number comes in two parts: a real part and an imaginary part. If the value of the real part is a and the value of the imaginary part is b, the number is written as a + bi.
