Write the correct equation. Direct variation problems are solved using the equation y = kx. When dealing with word problems, you should consider using variables other than x and y, you should use variables that are relevant to the problem being solved. Also read the problem carefully to determine if there are any other changes in the direct variation equation, such as squares, cubes, or square roots.
The imaginary unit belongs to the set of complex numbers, denoted by . These numbers take the form , where are any real numbers.
The set of real numbers, , is a subset of , where each number in can be obtained by taking and letting be any real number.
But any number in with non-zero imaginary part is not a real number. This includes .
"is it possible that i can use an imaginary number for a real number"
I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your question. It is possible to represent any real number as a complex number, but not a purely imaginary one. All real numbers are complex, but not all complex numbers are real. For example, 2 is real and complex because .
There are some operations that you can carry out on purely imaginary numbers to get a purely real number. A famous example is raising to the -th power. Since , we have
