Imaginary number: History, Measurement & Products

An imaginary number is the product of a real number and the imaginary unit i, which is defined by its property i2 = −1. The square of an imaginary number bi is −b2. For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and its square is −25. The number zero is considered to be both real and imaginary.
