So here, I wanna identify the real and imaginary parts of this complex number, and I have 3+2i root 3. Now remember the real part of my number is just that number that's out there by itself, my real number. So a, in this case, is 3. That's my real part. Now the imaginary part is absolutely everything that is multiplying that I. So in this case, I have a 2 in the front, but I also have the square root of 3. So that means that b, the imaginary part, is actually 2 root 3 because those are both multiplying by imaginary number I.

Identify the real and imaginary parts of each complex number. $3+2i$\sqrt$3$

$a=3,b=2$\sqrt$3$

$a = 3, b = 2$

$a=2$\sqrt$3,b=3$

$a=3,b=$\sqrt$3$

Verified step by step guidance

A complex number is generally expressed in the form a + bi, where 'a' is the real part and 'b' is the imaginary part.

In the given complex number 3 + 2i√3, identify the real part 'a' and the imaginary part 'b'.

The real part 'a' is the coefficient of the real number, which is 3 in this case.

The imaginary part 'b' is the coefficient of the imaginary unit 'i'. Here, it is 2√3.

Thus, for the complex number 3 + 2i√3, the real part is a = 3 and the imaginary part is b = 2√3.
