Can the product of two non real complex numbers be a real number?

Yes. Consider as the simplest example: i * i = -1. But there are others: (a + bi)(a - bi) = a² + b². When you multiply conjugates, the result is always real. This is useful when dividing to get a pure real number in the denominator.

Is pi a complex number?
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".
Rational and irrational numbers are complex numbers?
Rational and irrational numbers are real numbers. A complex number is represented by a+bi where a and b are real numbers. Zero is a real number therefore any real number is also complex whenever b=0
Is -4 a nonreal complex number?
No. Negative four is a real number. All real numbers are also complex numbers, so it is a complex number (but it's real, not nonreal)
How do conjugate arrive at complex number?
Complex numbers form: a + bi where a and b are real numbers. The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi If you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, the product will be a real number, such as (a + bi)(a - bi) = a2 - (bi)2 = a2 - b2i2 = a2 - b2(-1) = a2 + b2
Is every umber real number?
No. There are complex numbers and quaternions which are not real numbers.
The sum of two complex numbers is always a complex number?
A "complex number" is a number of the form a+bi, where a and b are both real numbers and i is the principal square root of -1. Since b can be equal to 0, you see that the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. Similarly, since a can be zero, the imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. So let's take two complex numbers: a+bi and c+di (where a, b, c, and d are real). We add them together and we get: (a+c) + (b+d)i The sum of two real numbers is always real, so a+c is a real number and b+d is a real number, so the sum of two complex numbers is a complex number. What you may really be wondering is whether the sum of two non-real complex numbers can ever be a real number. The answer is yes: (3+2i) + (5-2i) = 8. In fact, the complex numbers form an algebraic field. The sum, difference, product, and quotient of any two complex numbers (except division by 0) is a complex number (keeping in mind the special case that both real and imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers).

What is the difference between a complex number and a non real complex number?
Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system. Instead of the usual x-axis you have the real numbers, instead of the y-axis, you have the imaginary numbers.The real numbers are on the horizontal axis.The imaginary numbers are on the vertical axis.The complex numbers are any number on the plane.The non-real complex are, of course, any complex numbers that are not on the real number axis - not on the horizontal axis.Think of the complex numbers as points on a coordinate system.

What is the difference between a set of real numbers and a set of complex numbers?
The set of real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers. For the set of complex numbers, given in the form (a + bi), where a and b can be any real number, the number is only a real number, if b = 0.
How do conjugate arrive at complex number?
Complex numbers form: a + bi where a and b are real numbers. The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi If you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, the product will be a real number, such as (a + bi)(a - bi) = a2 - (bi)2 = a2 - b2i2 = a2 - b2(-1) = a2 + b2
Is -7 a complex number?
Yes, all real numbers are complex numbers.
Is the product of two imaginary numbers always an imaginary number?
If you are talking about pure imaginary numbers (a complex number with no real part) then no. Example: bi times ci where b and c are real numbers equals b*c*i² = b*c*(-1) = -b*c, which is a real number, because b & c & -1 are all real numbers. If you're talking about multiplying two complex numbers (a + bi)*(c + di), then the product will be complex, but it could be real or imaginary, depending on the values of a, b, c, & d.
Every integer is a complex number?
Yes. Every integer is a rational number. Every rational number is a real number. Every real number is a complex number. The complex numbers include all real numbers and all real numbers multiplied by the imaginary number i=sqrt(-1) and all the sums of these.
Is every umber real number?
No. There are complex numbers and quaternions which are not real numbers.
Can 2 binomials have a monomial product?
No, they cannot with real numbers. With complex numbers it is possible.
