The correct answer is
15

Real Part of Complex Numbers

A complex number is typically written in the form \(a + bi\), where \(a\) represents the real part and \(b\) represents the imaginary part. The imaginary unit \(i\) is defined as the square root of -1.

Identifying the Real Part

For the given complex number \(15 + 2i\):

  • The term without \(i\) is the real part.
  • The term multiplied by \(i\) is the imaginary part.

In \(15 + 2i\), the real part is 15.

The imaginary part is 2.

Therefore, the real part of the number \(15 + 2i\) is 15.
