I have learned that if I multiply a vector, say 3i + 4j, by a scalar that is a real number, say 2, the effect of the operation is to expand the size of the magnitude of the original vector, by 2 in this case, and the result would be 6i + 8j. What would be the effect on a vector, like 3i + 4j...

I was taught a scalar is a quantity that consists of a number (positive or negative) and it might include a measuring unit, e.g. 6, 5 kg, -900 J, etc. I was wondering if complex numbers like 3 + 7j (where j is the square root of minus 1) can be considered scalar quantities too, or is it that...
