Question

What are the real and imaginary parts of the complex number?

-6-i

Answer 1

real part= - 6
imaginary part=-i

Answer 2

Real part: -6

Imaginary part: -1

Explanation:

A complex number is a number that has a real part and an imaginary part. These numbers usually are represented in the form a + bi where a and b are real numbers and b is the imaginary part (i is actually the solution to the equation
`x^(2) +1=0` or x²=-1 which has no roots in the real numbers and therefore we call the solution √-1=i)

Now, proceeding to the complex number you wrote, if we write it as a + bi we would have a = -6 b = -1

Therefore the real part is a = -6 and the imaginary part would be -1.
