Is there even a way to graph $\imath$? I believe that the answer to that is no.

Question

parthkohli · Answer

$\imath$ as in $\sqrt{-1}$.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, you can graph it.

unklerhaukus · Answer

what is $$\imath$$

$\hat\imath$ is the unit vector in the x direction

parthkohli · Answer

Hmm. I meant the $i$.

parthkohli · Answer

The complex number.

unklerhaukus · Answer

well you have used the wrong symbol, the imaginary unit  has a dot $i$

parthkohli · Answer

I have heard of a complex plane, but can we graph it on a normal graph? The Cartesian one.

unklerhaukus · Answer

you'll need an  Argand diagram Parth

parthkohli · Answer

Ok. I'd now be posting another question related to the complex plane.

parthkohli · Answer

Argand Diagram?

unklerhaukus · Answer

the normal cartesian graph dosen't have an imaginary direction

parthkohli · Answer

Knew it!

unklerhaukus · Answer

Argand diagram is just complex plane

anonymous · Answer

If you're in America, they likely don't call it the "Argand Diagram" in anything pre-Engineering.

unklerhaukus · Answer

fortunately im not in america

anonymous · Answer

...yes, it's tragic.

anonymous · Answer

I get "What the heck is an Argand diagram" repeatedly...

parthkohli · Answer

Haha, me neither.
I'd have been this kid who would've been hanging out with other kids all the time; nothing constructive.

anonymous · Answer

The distinction is to note that it is "like" a cartesian plane, but it IS NOT a cartesian plane. In that where 'y' is real, 'i' is NOT real.
