Question

Write a response to the following statement: "Every number is a complex number." Make sure to include whether you agree or disagree with the statement, then cite mathematical reasons for why you agree or disagree.

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, every number is a member of the set of complex numbers, so, every number is a complex number.

A complex number is of the form z = x+iy, or z = (x,y).

So, if w is a real number, you can write w as w+i0.
