In this context i is the imaginary unit. Those are all complex numbers, such as complex(1.2428, -0.003)

"Is that mean imaginary unit means the answer is very small?"
No:
If your high-school did not teach complex numbers then you missed out on a very important mathematical concept. There are plenty of good tutorials online which introduce complex numbers.

If you were doing something like fsolve() or fzero() then it is possible that the system you are working with has multiple answers, some of which happen to be complex valued. If you are finding the root of an equation in a single variable, then you might need to use fzero() and pass a range of values as the second parameter to confine the search to that range.
