i is equalled to the square root of -1.
The square root is a number which, multiplied by itself, will give a number (eg: 2 is the square root of 4 because 2x2=4)
But negative numbers can't have square roots because any number multiplied by itself will be positive.
So 'i' is imaginary.
You use 'i' in calculus to figure out complex problems.

Can you divide an imaginary number by a real number?
an imaginary number is imaginary so no (i guess) this answer kind of sucks

-125 is NOT an imaginary number.
What does 7 divided by imaginary number equal?
That quotient would be an imaginary number. The actual number depends on exactly what imaginary number you divide the 7 by.
Is the difference of a complex number and its conjugate a real imaginary or pure imaginary number?
It is a pure imaginary number.Since (a+bi)-(a-bi) = 2bi, it is a pure imaginary number (it has no real component).
Is -23 an imaginary number?
No, but √-23 is. An imaginary number is the square root of a negative number.
Whats an imaginary number?
An imaginary number is a number that has the square root of -1 as one of its factors.
Are imaginary and complex numbers the same?
No. A complex number is a number that has both a real part and an imaginary part. Technically, a pure imaginary number ... which has no real part ... is not a complex number.
Is 3i an irrational number?
No. It is an imaginary (or complex) number.
Is the square root of negative two an irrational number?
No, it is an imaginary number which is a complex number.
What does the imaginary number you means?
The imaginary unit number is the square root of -1 and is denoted by i
