When multiplying an imaginary number by an imaginary number, the result is a real number. What does that mean?
I was wondering if you can explain something to me. When you multiply an imaginary number by an imaginary number, the result is a real number. What does that mean exactly?
That's a great question. Imaginary numbers are complex numbers that are expressed as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i, which is defined as the square root of -1. When you multiply two imaginary numbers together, the product is a real number because the imaginary units cancel each other out and leave you with only the real part of the product.
