Complex Numbers
The square root of negative one, which we now call the imaginary unit, was once thought to be an absurd notion. However, through the diligent studies of open-minded mathematicians, it was shown that the real numbers were actually just one part of a larger set of numbers known as the complex numbers, the other part being the imaginary numbers. Please direct all questions about these surprisingly useful and applicable numbers into this category.

How many times does 18 go into 99?
Well, darling, 18 goes into 99 a total of 5 times. But let's not forget about that pesky little remainder of 9 hanging out at the end, just causing a ruckus. So, technically, 18 goes into 99 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 9. Hope that clears things up for you!
Can you graph a complex number?
Yes you can. A number like 3+5i can be graphed by letting x=3 and y=5 and
plotting the point (3,5) on graph paper. A much more interesting plot can be
viewed in the RELATED LINK.
How many zeros are there in a terabyte?
There are 1000000000000 bytes in 1 terabyte, so there are 12 zeros in a terabyte.
This answer uses the modern convention where large number prefixes are implied to be based on powers of ten, rather than on powers of 2.
What are the cube roots of an imaginary number in trigonometric form?
z = y i where y is a real number
1: z^(1/3) = y^(1/3) (cos(30 deg) + i sin(30 deg))
2: z^(1/3) = y^(1/3) (-sin(60 deg) + i cos(60 deg))
3: z^(1/3) = y^(1/3) (- i)
What is the twenty seventh power of an imaginary number?
See the Wikipedia article on Imaginary Numbers. i^n = i^(n mod 4). With n = 27, 27 mod 4 = 3, and i^3 = -i. This is easier to visualize when you consider the graphical representation of complex numbers, and use polar coordinates. Writing i as exp(i*pi/2), (from Euler's formula), then i^27 = {using exp() to mean the natural base e, raised to a power} exp(i*pi/2)^27 = exp(27*i*pi/2) = exp(13.5*i*pi) = exp((12 + 1.5)*(i*pi)) = exp(12*i*pi)*exp(3*i*pi/2).
Since the coefficient of i in the exponent is an angle (in radians), then even multiples of pi are the same angle as 0 {exp(0) = 1} so we are back to the same as exp(3*i*pi/2), which is pointing straight down [-i]. Note that 3*pi/2 radians is the same as 270°.
Since the question asked about 27th power of an imaginary number, that could mean a multiple of i, such as bi, where b is any real number. In this case, you would have (bi)^27 = (b^27)(i^27) = (b^27)(-i). So if b = 1.5 for example, then you would have (-i)(1.5^27) ≅ -56815i.
Natural numbers, integers, rational numbers are all part of the real numbers.
-1 is an integer (and a rational number), so it is also real.
How can you square a complex number in trigonometric form?
Multiply the angle by 2, and square the magnitude. The angle can be rewritten between (-180° & +180°) (or -pi and +pi radians), after multiplying.
To any set that contains it!
It belongs to {27},

or all whole numbers between 23 and 53,
or multiples of 3,
or composite numbers,
or counting numbers,
or integers,
or perfect cubes,
or rational numbers,
or real numbers,
or complex numbers,
etc.
I will be glad to give you a complex number. (i^i)^i is i raised to the i power and
raised to the i power again. This is not the same as i^3 which is -i but computes to .947 + .321i
The canonical example is the square root of -1.
Mathematicians use the symbol i to represent it, electrical engineers use j because i is already busy.
What is used to divide complex numbers?
You can use another complex number, a real number or an imaginary number. Complex number equations make interesting images. The link shows the image
produced by (z-1)/(z+1) and inverses the checkerboard around two points.
What is the meaning of the number sets?
A number set is simply a collection of numbers. The numbers in a set need not share any property whatsoever - the only requirement is that they are all numbers.
How would you solve an imaginary number with -31 as its exponent?
The following discussion is for complex numbers; this includes (pure) imaginary numbers as a special case. This type of powers (a complex number to the power of a real number) are very simple if you write the complex number in polar coordinates, specifying an absolute value and an angle. Raise the absolute value to the specified power, and multiply the angle by the power.
Example (writing on a piece of paper is clearer; it is difficult to represent some of the symbols here):
(1 + i)6 = [(square root of 2) angle (45 degrees)]
Square root of 2 to the power 6 is 8.
45 degrees x 6 = 270 degrees, which is the same as minus 90 degrees.
The result is, then, 8 at an angle of -90 degrees. Converting this back to rectangular coordinates, this is equal to -8i.
What is icon dance complex number?
No but check it up in ICON dance complex and there it is and also that go to Atlantic city ad go to Texas ave school and ask for girls that can auction for them because some girls like they called them self THE JERSEY KIDS and they are girls who dance and sing and act too:)
Are all imaginary numbers are real numbers?
No. None are because the opposite of a real number is an imaginary number. In real numbers there are rational, irrational, counting, whole numbers, and integers.
Is any number divisible by zero is a multiple of a complex number?
no o is nothing if you try dividing it you will get a fraction
