Question

What are the real and imaginary parts of the complex number? −6−i Enter your answers in the boxes. The real part: The imaginary part:

Answer 1

real = -6

 imaginary = -i

Answer 2

Answer:

Real part = -6 and imaginary part = -i

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number can be written as a + bi,

where both a and b are real numbers,

While, i is an imaginary number ( equals to √-1, because √-1 does not defined as a real number ),

The product of a real number and imaginary number is imaginary number,

∴ bi is called imaginary part of a + bi

Also, a is real number ⇒ a is real part of a + bi

Here, the given complex number,

-6-i

By comparing,

Imaginary part = -i, real part = -6.
