A complex number is a number of the form a+bi,

if b=0, that is if the number is a, then it is a Real number

if a=0, that is if the number is bi, then it is called an imaginary number.



All imaginary numbers are complex numbers.

Also, all real numbers (non-imaginary) are complex numbers.


Thus, all the numbers given are complex.

3i : imaginary

-5i : imaginary

6-i: complex

square root of 21: real, non-imaginary, complex

Negative square root of 16=-4: real, non-imaginary, complex

Square root of -14 = (square root of 14)i: imaginary
