Basically you can have an order on a number line, but complex numbers are points on a plane. You can invent some arbitrary order, like which number has the largest real part, or the biggest absolute value, but many of the order properties of real numbers are no longer valid with such definitions.
Unreal numbers are complex numbers and numbers of higher order. There are infinitely many of them. It can be shown that the cardinality of complex numbers is the same as that of real numbers: this cardinality is called the continuum, C.There are À0 (aleph-null) counting numbers or integers or rational numbers - the "smallest infinity"!!!. C is equal to 2À0.
Certain functions, when solving to find the zeros (value which makes the function equal zero), the only value which will work has an imaginary component. Note that a parabola (graph of a quadratic or 2nd order polynomial) can touch the x-axis at a single point, or 2 points or no points. If it does not touch or cross the x-axis, then the root (or zeros) of the function are complex with imaginary components.Technically, all real numbers are a subset of complex numbers, so all numbers are complex - but this is not how we normally refer to them. We usually say that a number is real, or it is imaginary, or it is complex.
If the order of the numbers are important, then this is a simple combination problem. There are 10 possible numbers to choose from for the first number. Then there are 9 options for the second number. Then there are 8 options for the third, and so on. Thus, the number of possible combinations can be calculated as 10x9x8x7x6x5. This comes out at 151,200 possible combinations.
There is only one combination since the order of the numbers in a combination does not matter.
