A complex number is expressed in the form a + bi, where:
- a represents the real part
- b represents the imaginary part, and i is the imaginary unit, which is the square root of -1.
For the complex number 2 + 5i:
- The real part is 2.
- The imaginary part is 5 (since it’s 5i).
So, to summarize:
- Real part: 2
- Imaginary part: 5
