Sure, it is a complex number, but why are you specifically calling it complex? Did you mean something different than you wrote?

You ask about 3-sqrt%2825%29. As written, the coefficient on i is zero. You have written a REAL number.

3-sqrt%285%29=3-5=2 OR 3-sqrt%285%29=3-%28-5%29=8

DID YOU MEAN, 3-sqrt%28-25%29 or something else?
