Final answer:

The statement is false. A complex number is not always a pure imaginary number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that every complex number is a pure imaginary number is False.

A complex number is a number that can be written in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary unit (√-1).

A pure imaginary number is a complex number with zero real part (a = 0) and a non-zero imaginary part. So not every complex number is a pure imaginary number.
