Answer:

Complex numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a + bi[/tex]

Required

Determine the type of number in that form

Numbers written in [tex]a + bi[/tex] are referred to as complex numbers

Where [tex]a \neq 0[/tex]; [tex]b\neq 0[/tex] and [tex]i = \sqrt{-1}[/tex]

Note that a and b can either integers or non integers and a and be can also be positive or negative

The following are valid examples of complex numbers

[tex]2 + 3i[/tex]

[tex]2.4 - 5i[/tex]

[tex]-3 - i[/tex]

and lots more..
