Explanation:
Note: As you haven't clearly specified the answer choices. But, I am assuming one of the answer choices may have included some negative number under a square root, as a real number cannot have a negative number under a square root. So, whatever the choice may have contained the negative number under a square root would represent the complex number. Anyhow, I would try to clear your concept.
So, lets move forward.
A complex number is basically the combination of a real number and imaginary number which can be expressed in the form of [tex]a+ib[/tex]. where a and b are termed as real numbers and i is a solution of the equation x² = -1.
So,
In [tex]a+ib[/tex],
- "i" is called iota.
- [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex]
For example, let us consider
[tex]2 + \sqrt{-1}[/tex]
- Here, 2 is a real part,
- And [tex]\sqrt{-1}[/tex] is imaginary part, meaning [tex]i=\sqrt{-1}[/tex], which is imaginary part.
Therefore, [tex]2 + \sqrt{-1}[/tex] is a complex number.
