(b) F (1)
Solution: 1 = 1 + 0i, so F (1) =
(c) F (a) for a R.
Solution: a = a + 0i, so F (a) =

2. Use the definition of multiplication of complex numbers to show that i2 = 1 and then show
that F (i)2 = F (1).
Solution:
i2 = (0 + 1i)(0 + 1i) = (0 0 1 1) + (1 0 + 0 1)i = 1.

3. Show that F (z+w) = F (z)+F (w) for any z, w C. This shows that F respects the operation
of addition.
Solution: Let z = a + bi and w = c + di. Then
F (z) + F (w) = F (a + bi) + F (c + di)

4. Show that F (zw) = F (z)F (w) for any z, w C. This shows that F respects the operation of
multiplication.
Solution: Let z = a + bi and w = c + di. Then
F (z)F (w) = F (a + bi)F (c + di)

5. If z = a + bi is any complex number, then we let z = a bi. The complex number z is called
the complex conjugate of z. Show that F (
z ) = P F (z)P 1 for any z C where
