The imaginary unit, denoted as \\( i \\), is a fundamental concept in complex numbers. It is defined as the square root of \\(-1\\). This means: \\\[ i^2 = -1 \\\] The imaginary unit allows for the extension of the number system to include numbers that cannot be represented on the traditional number line.
