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
