Question

For any complex number a + bi, a is called the _____ part and b is called the
_________ part.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that complex number is the number which can be expressed in the form of a+ib

Where,

a and b are real number

and i is the imaginary unit (i2=-1 ⇒i=-1).

Therefore we can say that

a is real part of the complex number

and b is the imaginary part of the complex number.
