Can Imaginary Numbers Be Zero. So the number 3 4i would be 3 units right and 4 units up. The square root of minus one 1 is the unit imaginary number the equivalent of 1 for real numbers.
Complex numbers can be plotted on a plane where the horizontal axis is the real part and the vertical axis is the imaginary part. Imaginary numbers and negative zero. Back to the main point since the complex number is a field with those properties an imaginary number can be multiplied by zero.
Order does not hold though.
In mathematics the symbol for 1 is i for imaginary. An imaginary root or zero would be a value x a i b in the complex plane that satisfies f x 0. For example the zeros of the expression x 2 1 are x i and x i which arise when you solve x 2 1 0. A purely imaginary number can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i equal to the square root i e in the form ok so that s a little bit better.
