Answer:
The real part is 2
The imaginary part is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part. For example given the complex number z = x+it
x is the real part of the complex number z i.e Re(z) = x
Imaginary part of the complex number z is y i.e Im(z) = y.
Note that the real part are on the x axis of a graph while the y axis is the imaginary axis attached to the complex notation i
Given the complex number 2-5i
Comparing 2-5i to x+iy
x= 2 and y = -5
The real part is 2 (value that is not attached to the complex notation)
The imaginary part is 5(value attached to the complex notation)
