is complex the same as imaginary

OpenStudy (jamesj):

i is an imaginary number and a complex number. But 1 + i is not an imaginary number; rather it is a complex number.

myininaya (myininaya):

a+bi is complex if a and b are real bi <imaginary a<real Imaginary numbers is a subset of the complex numbers Real numbers is a subset of the complex numbers

OpenStudy (jamesj):

In general, the set of imaginary numbers is { ai | a is a real number } and the set of complex numbers is { ai + b | a, b are real numbers } Hence you can see that every imaginary number is complex number, because ai = ai + 0. But not every complex number is an imaginary number.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

all complex numbers have imaginary numbers imaginary number is just " i "

myininaya (myininaya):

example of complex numbers: 5, 5+2i, sqrt(2), 0, -1, .3243531531531

myininaya (myininaya):

6i is another example

myininaya (myininaya):

of these numbers 5,sqrt(2),0,-1,.3243531531531 are real of these numbers 6i is imaginary
