Question

determine the real and imaginary parts of the complex number.

\\(-4 + 8i\\)

part 1 of 2
the real part is .

part 2 of 2
the imaginary part is .

Explanation:

Identify the standard form of a complex number

$$ z = a + bi $$

Compare the given complex number to the standard form

$$ z = -4 + 8i \implies a = -4,\quad b = 8 $$

Extract the real and imaginary parts

$$ \text{Re}(z) = -4,\quad \text{Im}(z) = 8 $$

Answer:

Question 1

The real part is <blank>-4</blank>.

Question 2

The imaginary part is <blank>8</blank>.
