Question

complex numbers must have real and imaginary parts that are not zero.
(1 point)
○ true
○ false

Explanation:

A complex number is in the form \(a + bi\), where \(a\) (real part) and \(b\) (imaginary part) are real numbers, and \(i=\sqrt{-1}\). Real numbers (e.g., \(5 = 5+0i\)) and pure imaginary numbers (e.g., \(3i=0 + 3i\)) are also complex numbers, so the real or imaginary part can be zero. Thus the statement is false.

Answer:

False
