complex numbers
Complex numbers are numbers that consist of a real part and an imaginary part. They are represented in the form of a + bi, where "a" and "b" are real numbers, and "i" is the imaginary unit. The imaginary unit is defined as the square root of -1. Complex numbers extend the number system to include solutions to equations that can't be solved with real numbers alone.
