Math Problem Statement
The value of i (iota) in the complex number set is ...
(a) -1 (b) 1 (c) (0,1) (d) (1,0)
Solution
The question is asking for the value of (iota) in the complex number set. In complex numbers, represents the imaginary unit, which is defined by the property that .
This implies that the value of itself is:
- Not a real number.
- Represented as in ordered pair form, where is the real part and is the imaginary part.
Thus, the correct answer is:
(c) .
Would you like further details on complex numbers or how to interpret ordered pairs in the complex plane?
Here are some related questions that expand on this concept:
- What does signify in complex numbers?
- How are complex numbers represented in the form ?
- What is the significance of the real and imaginary parts of a complex number?
- How can we visualize complex numbers on the complex plane?
- What are the powers of and how do they cycle?
Tip: In complex numbers, the real part of is 0, and the imaginary part is 1. This makes its representation as an ordered pair easy to interpret: corresponds to in the complex plane.
