Problem is that, this "-ive" was not added to 'imagination', an English word.
And it is not that "-ative" or "-ate-" and "-ive" was added to "Imagine", an English word.
This -(at)ive comes from Latin "imaginativus" and French "imaginatif".
And Latin word has MANY Latin morphmes. I can count up to 7.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I'd say four: un +imagin(e) + ative + ly
I'd say the root morpheme is the verb 'imagine'. Some people might try to split it down further (" image + ine = imagine", like " exam + ine = examine"), but I'm not sure that works.
The three bound morphemes which are attached to it are:
'un' to make it negative.
'ative' to make the verb into an adjective
'ly' to make the adjective into an adverb

Muzna, sorry for flooding here. I am talkative. I myself would say
"3 or 4 or even 5"
un-, -ly and imaginative (because "'imaginative" came to English from French/Latin "imaginatif/imaginativus" as a whole)
or
un-, -ly, and imagin(-at-)(-ive). (because -at-, -ive, -ative have a life of their own in English).
